Secretary

Ah, the perfect antidote to Legally Blond 2 (the movie I saw previous to this one). This movie had much more of a sense of humor than I was expecting, and I laughed out loud a number of times. Terrific performance from Maggie Gyllenhaal (last saw her in Donnie Darko with her brother Jake), and better than average performance from James Spader. Spader, never one to turn down a weird role, is definitely in his Crash/sex lines and videotape mode here. I think the best thing about this movie, though, is that underneath it all it's actually kind of a touching, albeit twisted, love story. Recommended.
