Cookie

Heres the recipe. Start with a Grade-A cast (Peter Falk, Dianne Wiest, Emily Lloyd leading a smart ensemble). Add crisp one-liners by writers Nora Ephron (Julie & Julia) and Alice Arlen (Silkwood). Combine with the stylish zest of director Susan Seidelman (Desperately Seeking Susan) and bake a batch of comedy perfection. In this delicious caper, paroled labor racketeer Dapper Dino Capisco (Falk) is caught between a rock and a hard place when a politically ambitious prosecutor schemes to put him back in jail and a deceitful partner sizes him up for concrete shoes. Dino needs an ally smart, resourceful and who doesnt pop her chewing gum. He needs his spunky, rebellious daughter Cookie (Lloyd). But first theyll have to cross a generation gap wider than the East River.
