Review: "An Unsuitable Job for a Woman"
(04/23/98)

ENTERTAINMENT
THIS WEEK


Two Girls and a Guy
Tale of a womanizer and the women who confront him has brains and unrestrained eroticism


Sour Grapes
Larry David should have stayed with Seinfeld, and the small screen


Sliding Doors
A lightweight, glossy little picture, inoffensive, based on a dumb premise, is at least entertaining enough to keep you amused for an hour or two

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have signed a $15 million deal to keep Comedy Central stocked with new episodes of the show through 2000, and to do a "South Park" feature film in the spring of 1999 ... Tom Snyder is leaving CBS's "Late Late Show," probably in May 1999. He asked to be released from his contract, which runs through September 1999, reportedly because he has grown weary of the nightly grind ... Oliver Stone is working on a one-hour ABC newsmagazine special for the fall called "Declassified," which will report stories ignored by the mainstream newsmagazines.
