abstract:Stephen Schiff is an American screenwriter and journalist. He grew up in Littleton, Colorado and began his writing career at The Boston Phoenix, where he became the chief film critic and film editor (succeeding David Denby), and hired and trained such critics as Owen Gleiberman and David Edelstein.
The script, by Allan Loeb and StephenSchiff, is tougher and less corny than that of the first film, although Stone himself seems incapable of deciding whether it should close on a note of cruel treachery or a group hug.
