In a climactic sexual encounter between Lopez and Clooney in a hotel bar and suite, this yields a piece of visual enchantment almost worthy of another studio slave, Vincente Minnelli — a sequence
involving jokey foreplay, fluttery snowfall, blurry lights, discarded bits of clothing, voices drifting in and out of synch, and oodles of freeze - frames.
There are a few amusing moments in «North,» mainly
involving jokey references to other movies, but they are overshadowed by a dubious plot turn involving a full - scale revolt of America's children inspired by North's antics.
