Plot outline:
Nicole Kidman stars as Suzanne Stone, the scheming, murderously ambitious TV news personality who'll stop at nothing to claim her place in the celestial skies next to Barbara and Connie, she whets, smooths and sharpens what could be the finest role of her career.
In a place called Little Hope, N.H., we learn immediately that there has been bloodshed, and that cable TV weathergirl Kidman (a "seductress," according to screaming tabloid headlines) is a possible suspect in the murder of her oafish, sweet-natured husband, Matt Dillon. Then the complete story unfolds in a "60 Minutes"-meets-
"Rashomon" faux-documentary format, in which we hear testimony from Kidman (who addresses the camera directly in the newscaster style she has geared her whole life toward); Illeana Douglas, Dillon's tell-it-like-it-is, ice-skating sister; and many others, including Kidman's and Dillon's parents and a teenage girl (Alison Folland) who played a significant role in the tragedy.
It starts when small-town beauty Kidman seduces and marries Italian-American husband Dillon, a dumb dreamboat and about the biggest catch she can get in that place. Kidman's pie-in-the-sky dream to head a prime-time TV show has to start somewhere. So, without a trace of television experience, she persuades the local cable TV station manager (tubby Wayne Knight of "Seinfeld") to hire her as a gofer. She soon parlays the grunt job into a regular stint as the weather reporter. She also produces a hilariously trite cable special called "Teens Speak Out!" for which she enlists painfully inarticulate students Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck and Folland.
But when Dillon, set to inherit his father's Italian restaurant, asks his wife to drop the weather slot and start making babies, Kidman's big plans are threatened. The course of action she decides upon is, well, pure Oprah. [source: washingtonpost.com]
