E Annie Proulx's "quirky" bestseller The Shipping Newsgets the Lasse Hallstrom treatment, but the results don't match Chocolator The Cider House Rules. Lifelong loser Quoyle (Kevin Spacey) suffers in a terrible wig--abused by his bitter Dad, snoozing through dead-end jobs, overwhelmed by a mad Cate Blanchett. On the same day, his parents commit suicide and runaway Petal drowns in a car crash. With ominous Aunt Agnis (Judi Dench) and angelic daughter Bunny, Quoyle relocates to Quoyle Point, moving into a dilapidated family house tethered on a storm-wracked cliff. He takes a job as a reporter, fitting into a feud between owner (Scott Glenn) and editor (Pete Postlethwaite) and begins a tenuous romance with widow Wavey (Julianne Moore). Happiness threatens, but the weight of an awful past bears down, along with premonitions of doom, decapitation murders and a lot of bad weather...until a cathartic storm sorts it all out. Spare Spacey, miscast as the novel's obese hero, underplays to the point of invisibility. As a Gothic soap, it has a few laughs; but it's hard to take seriously. --Kim Newman
