<font size=3 face="Book Antiqua,Century Schoolbook,Times New Roman">
<p><i><font size="6" color="#cccccc"><b>D</b></font>rowning Mona </i>continues a recent trend in screen comedy that accentuates the cynical--with frequently funny results. Movies such as <i>Election</i> and <i>Drop Dead Gorgeous</i> have mined this territory successfully while giving us casts of characters who generally fall into two categories--the dumb and the evil. Few (if any) positive role models exist in these movies, and that's part of the fun: when things go bad, an avalanche of wrong turns soon follows. Provided you can appreciate the sadistic glee these films take in exposing the all-too-obvious faults of their leading characters, these films can be fun to watch.
