Please don’t rent this - Hoffman review by MT
A movie so sexist it will leave your jaw on the floor. Imagine Silence of the Lambs meets The Odd Couple meets a rom-com with no laughs. No really, just imagine that for a minute. Hannibal and Clarice live happily ever after, because all Clarice really wants from life is a big kitchen and a psycho husband.
Seriously, avoid.
