Rated PG-13, directed by Cameron Crowe, with Tom Cruise (David Aames), Penelope Cruz (Sofia Serrano), Brian Shelby (Jason Lee), Julie Gianni (Cameron Diaz), running time: 130 minutes.
Tom Cruise plays David Aames, a rich, handsome, fun-loving New Yorker who is the heir of a publishing conglomerate. He likes driving his black Porsche around the city and is a little too intensely aware of his good looks. Julie Gianni (Cameron Diaz), a foxy blonde model, is just one of his ladies, and for Aames, their relationship is just about sex. But Gianni wants Aames to ``open his eyes,'' a chant with which the film starts and an indication of what is to come. One day, at Aames's birthday party, he meets the girl of his dream -- Sofia Serranno (Penelope Cruz). From this point on, the story becomes a roller coaster ride that takes us through a devastating car crash after which Aames inexplicably ends up in a prison cell, having been accused of murdering Sofia, but he has no recollection of the how or why.
