Beautiful Joe 2001


STARRING: Sharon Stone Billy Connolly Gil Bellows Ian Holm

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Billy Connolly has title role as an ex-Dubliner living in
NYC who finds out he may not have long to live. he then goes home to find his
wife with another man. she also tells him she's leaving him because he is
boring. after some soul searching he decides to go out and have adventures. he
meets Hush (Sharon Stone) a wild single mom and falls in love with her and her
two kids. they go on the run from a loan shark (Ian Holm) and his hench men.
the action is sustained despite some hard to believe plot twists. despite the
beginning, this guy winds up being luckier than Ferris Bueller!

SCISSORS SCENES: Hush is an emcee at a "pay to mudwrestle girls" nightclub. as
the scene opens we see that the huge mudpit takes up about 1/3 of the floor
and three couples are getting "down and dirty". Hush is wearing a tight black
outfit, a PA headset over a red wig, and is sipping martinis as she makes
comments on the action. one of the girls is on her back in the mud when she
swings her long legs up and wraps them around the neck of the male seated next
to her. the camera briefly zooms closer but then cuts away to Hush who says,
"ooh, Buxom Barb has got her warrior in a leglock!" they cut back as the
mudcovered young lady pressures the hold on the struggling male. her supple
calves squeeze his neck as we hear Hush continue,"is that a computer in your
pocket or are you just happy to see me?" as quickly as it started the scene
ends as Hush calls for a round of applause for the wrestlers.

POSITIVES: good setup, great camera work, outstanding lighting, a sexy but
anonymous scissoress, and Sharon's teasing commentary definitely adds to it.

NEGATIVES: the mud factor obscures the wrestler's identity somewhat but many
would not consider this a negative at all. they did throw away a great
opportunity later on when Joe got to wrestle three girls simultaneously. they
cut away for over 90% of the match. we got to see just about nothing. as with
most scissors scenes, it could have been longer.

OVERALL RATING: ***
