THE BOOST, for the crack 'n' smack generation. This cautionary tale, complete with the swank cars, cool clothes and depraved babes that inevitably accompany degradation Hollywood style, is based on former sitcom scribe Jerry Stahl's lurid tell-all memoir of his descent into heroin addiction. Self-described "dark guy" Jerry (the ubiquitous Ben Stiller) runs to La-La-Land after his mother's suicide, and through the sort of sheer coincidence that fiction dare not concoct, winds up in a marriage of convenience to stunning Brit Sandra (Elizabeth Hurley), who needs a green card and uses her TV connections to land Jerry a job writing for wise-cracking alien show
