As once said about Beetlejuice, "Without Noni, the film would have floated off into the stratosphere." Sure, this film is somewhat believable - another Woody Allen masterpiece - but Winona Ryder's interpretation and presentation of her character, Nola, seems most believable. She's a desperate movie extra, accepting of any role that comes her way, even if it means lying in bed with another woman... that was hilarious! She's the most realistic, the most in-tune with reality... definitely the girl next door - or the girl I'd want next door, anyway.
