On Molly's 22nd birthday, her home became the busiest party in the neighborhood. However, Molly's high life ended completely after this party.

Emotionally influenced by her mother, and because Lei was raised by a wet nurse with a reckless personality, her life has always been unstable. Therefore, she is precocious and wants to control everything in an orderly manner. A 22-year-old girl and an 8-year-old girl came together like this, but their personalities seemed to be completely reversed. Molly was innocent and innocent like a little girl. She needed to grow into a capable person. A responsible adult, Lei seems to be a demanding adult.

At the same time, a handsome boy named Locke Neal (Jesse Spencer) also broke into Molly's life, which further confused her conflict with the little girl Lei.

They finally understood what kind of people they wanted to become...

The box office figures over the past few years have continuously confirmed that Sunny Summer belongs to those big-budget comedies with female characters as the center. After the huge success of "Legally Blonde", MGM released a series of movies of the same type in this summer's summer schedule, such as "Legally Blonde 2" and "Hot and Spicy."

Although it lost the competition with its brother "Legally Blonde 2" and the release date of "Spicy Baby" was pushed back to mid-August by MGM, this also allowed it to avoid The popularity of big-budget films released in July and before has ensured the safety of the box office. After all, as film critics say, "August is the day when idle students go to the cinema to have fun."

As the "2003 version of "Legally Blonde"", "Spicy Baby" "" is naturally a female-centered movie. The entire movie revolves around two female characters, and the two actresses who play them naturally become the focus of attention.

Following her successful roles in the popular film "Newlyweds" and the critically acclaimed "8 Mile", "Hot and Spicy" is the first solo role for the sweet-looking Brittany Murphy. It seems that MGM intends to train her to become the second Reese Witherspoon in a movie that plays a leading role. Britney said: "When I read the script, I thought I had to play the role of Molly. I love Molly, she has a rare interest in life and a tolerant heart. I think this is a role that tries its best. A girl who is looking for herself and the life she wants, a girl who realizes the possibility and reality of life in a weird way." However, the performance of this beautiful girl may not be what the media pays the most attention to. , but her personal life. After successive scandals broke out with the leading actors of the films (Ashton Kutcher in "Newlyweds" and Eminem in "8 Mile"), the media began to continuously inquire about Murphy's relationship issues. Faced with questioning again and again, Murphy said: "Eminem? To me, he is an excellent work partner and a good father, that's all. As for the fake news in the media? That's funny, and I believe it." I won't let them appear again. If I am fooled by the media once, then I will despise them, but if I am fooled twice, the person I should despise is myself."

However, in " During the filming of "Spicy Baby", Murphy did indeed start a new relationship with the young talent Jeff Wattinetz, CEO of THE FIRM Company, with the help of colleagues. However, this time they plan to keep this relationship low-key and avoid media attention as much as possible. "Having learned from the past, I think I will never reveal my private life to the media again, but I am indeed in a healthy, happy and lovely relationship now, and I am happy about it." Murphy said in "Spicy Baby" " said at the press dinner.

In addition to Murphy, another important actor in "Spicy Baby" is the nine-year-old actor Dakota Fanning. After the producers saw the young girl's wonderful performance opposite Sean Penn in "I Am Sam" (for which she was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Performance by an Actor), she became the perfect choice to play the stubborn and difficult girl Ray. Candidate. Painotti, one of the screenwriters, joked: "Although Fanny might not be able to walk when we started writing the script, after meeting her, I think this role is simply tailor-made for her."

Director Yakin also praised Fanny's performance: "She can understand things from the perspective of the character. When you discuss with her, it is like talking to a forty-year-old actor. I think she performed very well. , comparable to Tamte O'Neal's performance in "Paper Moon" or Anna Paquin's performance in "The Piano Lesson""

[A movie about New York]

“We were all very happy when Boaz Yakin agreed to direct this film,” said Painotti: “This is not only because he can grasp the role well, but more importantly, he knows How can we truly show the brilliance and sparkle of New York in the movie?"

As Painotti said, the entire production team has always hoped that "Spicy Baby" can become a movie that shows New York. A film about cityscapes - prosperous, bright, exciting and charming cities. Therefore, they specially invited the famous photographer Michael Ballhaus (Michael Ballhaus) to take the shot. Ballhaus has worked with Fassbinder, Schlondorff, Martin Scorsese and Mike Nichols. He has collaborated with many master directors, and his masterpieces include "The Color of Money", "Working Girl", "Goodfellas", "The Age of Innocence" and "Gangs of New York", etc., for which he won the American Film Critics Association Award ( "Goodfellas") and Oscar nominee for Best Cinematography ("Gangs of New York"). The producer said: "Bauhaus can make any corner of New York more beautiful than anyone else."

On July 1, 2002, "Spicy Baby" officially started filming in New York. All the shots were done in this city, and almost all famous New York attractions also appeared in Bauhaus's shots, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Bow Bridge in Central Park, the Long Island Playground, and Henri Bendel's clothing store. etc. Director Yakin said he wanted to film New York "as a charming string of shining jewels."

[Film Review]

Although trying to repeat the great success of last year's "Legally Blonde" during the summer vacation, the director, producer and actors are also working hard, but After watching the film, most critics were cynicistic about the film.

The only thing that is recognized by most people is the performance of the heroine Britney Murphy in the movie. "Murphy is still as cute as ever, as if she is favored by God. The whole movie is because of her The performance is eye-catching and can occasionally be a little funny."

The originality of the film has been criticized by everyone. They believe that "Spicy Baby" is an outdated movie. It's like a work produced in the 1980s. After watching the first minute, you can know what will happen in the next minute. In the processing of many details, the "reference" from other movies and TV shows can also be clearly seen. For example, the settings of the precocious girl Ray and the lively girl Molly are almost the same as "Fantasy Street". Molly kept a piglet as a pet, a scene that appeared in the 1988 TV series "Ms. Designer."

"Until the end, the screenwriter just shamelessly stole the endings of "A Boy" and "Crazy for Love" and mixed them together bluntly."

Another point is the commentator What people criticized was Yakin's directorial approach to this film. Although his previous "The Charge" was quite good, his work this time was obviously not competent enough. A film that everyone thought would be a light comedy was released in the 30s. It suddenly "transformed" at the minute mark and turned into a drama intended to make people cry. "And, it's still so boring."

And the whole film has ridiculously many loopholes, such as it has been cut off After getting water and electricity, Molly's TV can still work normally. For example, even though she is bankrupt, she can still afford bed sheets costing more than $1,000. Walter Howe said sarcastically: "The only good thing is that the director's name is so unpronounceable that we all can easily forget about him, his films, and the obviously wasted footage.
