Lisa P: a brilliant comic creation
I loved the whole movie: the script, the acting....all of it.
But why does Lisa P stand out? Lisa is a hot babe who is on the verge of knowing how her hotness wields power. But, likely due to her Catholicism, she knows that pushing her hotness would be "a sin." This is tempered in that she is thoughtful enough to worry about her father, and she goes out with James. So, rather than being a cartoon, she is given depth, and this makes her interesting and harder to dismiss. Kudos to Margarita Levieva for her very fine portrayal: well-balanced and true.
The best scenes? When James asks Lisa if she likes the wine....and she sniffs the side of the glass. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! And then, when she and James are arguing about who-is-responsible-the-guy-or-the-girl?, she ends the conversation (she senses she can't win) by going "WHOA!" and then runs off to dance. It's bizare!!!
