Claire Goldstein (Alicia Witt) is a 23-year old classical pianist and student in San Francisco who gets dumped by a boyfriend, is evicted from her home following an earthquake and rejected by a major music competition, and becomes romantically involved with a charming two-timer (Ivan Sergei). But her troubles are just starting: she's forced to move back in with her parents (Elliott Gould and Marlo Thomas) while she attempts to make an emotional recovery from all the sudden turmoil. But the spiral continues downward, and before long she's even disappointed her faithful teacher, Bennett (Harvey Fierstein). Can Claire be redeemed? ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide

Alicia Witt - Claire Goldstein

Matthew Huffman's quirky romantic comedy Playing Mona Lisa comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This is a decent presentation of the film, but Disney/Buena Vista have provided nothing else. This title will appeal mainly to fans of the eclectic cast that includes Alicia Witt, Johnny Galecki, Elliott Gould, and Marlo Thomas, among many others. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
