The sexual tension between a curly - haired, side - whiskered Doc and
the former prom queen - turned aspiring hippie starlet - turned kept woman is palatable, and fuels the fiction, yet, as any respectable PI, Doc meets a lot of available ladies throughout, whether he beds them or not: Jena Malone (a classic California blonde with a sordid heroin past), Reese Witherspoon (a hard - as - nail but o so classy deputy D.A.), Maya Rudolph (too sexy to be «just a receptionist»), Hong Chau (an employee of the «Chick Planet» massage parlour, who warns him about the Golden Fang gang), newcomer Sasha Fenway (as Japonica Fenway, a poor little rich girl who can't find enough mischief to commit), Yvette Yates (as the hot Chicana maid who thrusts her butt in Doc's direction while serving drinks to her mistress), Joanne Newsom (as the elusive Sortilège) and the fabulous Jeannie Berlin as Doc's I - know - it - all formidable auntie.
In this film, Rose (Amy Adams)-- a single mom and
former Albuquerque high school
prom queen — and her wayward sister Norah (Emily Blunt), go into the crime scene cleanup business.
