Best Seller (1987)
3/10
Plenty of unanswered questions drag it down ...........
8 February 2010
Both James Woods and Brian Dennehy seem uncomfortable with a script that appears to be underdeveloped. There are way too many unanswered questions relating to who knew how to show up at just the right time at just the right location. The fact that Dennehy goes flying all over the country. leaving his sixteen year old daughter alone, is a real stretch. And speaking of the daughter, played by Allison Balson,her performance can only be described as unbelievable, and not in a good way either. Victoria Tennent's relationship with Dennehy is another loose end that is really never explored. "Best Seller" is nothing more than a very contrived script, with two good actors mostly wasted. - MERK
