“What keeps the movie consistently watchable (and that, to some degree, in theory only) is John Malkovich’s actor’s-holiday portrayal of Conway. … Malkovich takes on one flamboyant persona after another–ultra-fey, Charlton Heston stalwart, Noo Yawkee as a Brooklyn deli–depending on what he perceives his latest mark would expect.”
