Will Smith gives a mightily impressive debut, Donald Sutherland is perfection and OscarÂ(r)-nominated* Stockard Channing moves from brilliance to somewhere above and beyond brilliance (CBS-TV) in a story that's all the more amazing because it's true! Posing as the son of Sidney Poitier, Paul (Smith) deftly penetrates the world of art-dealing urbanites Ouisa and Flan Kittredge (Channing and Sutherland). But as Paul's web of dropped names and near fame begins to unravel, he provides his hosts with much more than just theultimate cocktail party anecdotehe sets in motion a series of events that will alter the course of their lives forever. *1993: Actress Reader Reviews Imagine a cast with the great Donald Sutherland, Ian McKellen and Stockard Channing being overshadowed by a young and very talented Will Smith, who plays a con artist extraordinaire. It is a story with twists and turns, and great acting by all; and it portrays grand living in New York City by those who can afford it--and those who aspire to afford it, namely Smith's character. Smith steals the show, amidst a tapestry of Gotham's art world and the unmasking of dysfunctional families and very spoiled kids, and one who aspires to be one of them, again Smith's character. The three-star rating does not reflect the cast's enormous talent, but rather a somewhat disjointed tale of a personality disorder that overcomes lots of supposedly sophisticated New Yorkers. But for the Big Apple, what else is new, right?
