    Duh! It's not a "chick" movie. It's more of a political piece than a romance flick. And yes, they were out of Freddie Prinze Jr. movies.

    Tagline: In war, the most powerful weapon is seduction.

    Plot Outline: A British reporter, resentful of American colonialism in southeast Asia in the 1950s, vies against a young American for the affections of a Vietnamese beauty.

    Sounds like a chick flick to me. I realize it's hard for you to tell the difference, being on the fence and all.

    But it's a straight fence.

    Not seen the movie, but the book was one of the most notable political thrillers made. It forshawdowed America’s invlolvement in Vietnam and outlined the problems. A book written in the 50s, Greene saw the quagmire others did not.

    The book is about an American Spy who comes to Nam to trump up a democratic resistance to French Colonial rule, hoping to beat the commies to the punch. A herion addicted Brit journalist thinks he is niave and should leave well enough alone. Of course, they both fall in love with the same chick.
