Jessica the multimillionaire New England celebrity is once again galvanized by the plight of underprivileged Hispanic residents of inner- city tenements. From there on, the script and the acting get rather sloppy. In fact, the viewer will start wondering if they are watching some kooky telenovela in a show- within-a-show format, like the one Salma Hayek created for Ugly Betty. The bad guys abruptly repent - which is just as well because, you see, they are blood relatives with the good guys anyway. If this was all a subtle send-up it would be awfully clever, and we might get to see the director yell, "Cut!" But I'm not convinced that it is. The murder mystery is strong as ever, but it gets drowned in this shallow melodrama.
