Warning: Spoilers
I can see why the critics have given this film two stars (out of five), but there are moments of it that are memorable and funny, and I can see why my Mum likes it (probably mainly for the main man). If you have seen the original David Cronenberg version of Crash, where people get turned on by car crashes, then this is similarly sick pleasure found by burning things, or pyromania. Ari (Kevin Bacon) and Sam (Kyra Sedgwick) meet each other at a club, and when having sex have little accidents with candles, but at the same time they are almost enjoying it. This is pretty much the main plot to the story, the rest is mainly annoying chat, but the comedy theme is quite constant in amongst the passionate romance. Okay, only worth seeing at least once!
