http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/28/WEEDS----The-Brick-Dance.aspx WEEDS continues to impress with its quality. In fact, it is on the verge of moving from the ironic to the iconic.  Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louis Parker, henceforth referred to as the Brilliant M-LP) is now in serious debt to gangsta U-Turn (Page Kennedy), and doesn’t know how she’ll pay him off.  The stocks and mutual fund shares she thought she had are long gone.  Her house is worth little, because a new, religious development is opening near by.  And the few thousand dollars she offers U is just enough chump change to get him angry. To work off her debt, U sends her to an Hispanic bar and pool hall to pick up a package.  She doesn’t know what it is and the locals insist she do a brick dance before she gets the brick she came for.  Clearly most middle class women would be shiting a brick, not dancing one if they walked into this dark bar.  But Nancy knows no fear.  It takes her a couple of minutes, but she soon figures out what’s needed. And she does a dance – fully clothed – that raises the temperature in the bar by about 10 degrees. This is a difficult role that calls for numerous mood changes from funny to ‘fraid and the Brilliant M-LP is fearless in her approach to this demanding part. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/28/WEEDS----The-Brick-Dance.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/28/WEEDS----The-Brick-Dance.aspx#1493 i have recently started watching this program and this was the episode that turned me onto it. i really like this show. brokun1 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/28/WEEDS----The-Brick-Dance.aspx#1493 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 12:58:40 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/28/WEEDS----The-Brick-Dance.aspx#1499 i love weeds when it hit dvd im gonna collect them all mrsjuicy10 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/28/WEEDS----The-Brick-Dance.aspx#1499 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 18:47:32 GMT
