Ain't Nothin' but a 'Hounddog'! ...Poster. For the Movie 'Hounddog'
Hounddog is getting a lot of publicity for containing a scene in which Dakota Fanning gets R'ed, but let's not forget that it also contains Dakota Fanning's shiny, wax-sealed face. Just a thin coating gives her career an extra six weeks of post-puberty shelf life.

Hounddog / ** (R)
"Hounddog" (R, 102 minutes). Dakota Fanning takes an impressive step forward in her career, but that's about the only good thing about "Hounddog." The reigning child star, now 14, handles a painful role with great assurance, even in a rape scene. But her character is surrounded by a swamp of worn-out backwoods Southern clichés than can't be rescued even by the other accomplished actors in the cast. With David Morse, Piper Laurie, Robin Wright Penn and Afemo Omilami. Rating: Two stars.

An Unspeakable Act: 'Hounddog'
Known colloquially as "The Dakota Fanning Rape Movie" since its premiere at last year's Sundance Film Festival, Deborah Kampmeier's "Hounddog" arrives in theaters Friday after a long distribution struggle with a handicap that it just can't shake. Young Ms. Fanning plays Lewellen, a motherless 12-year-old growing up poor in the Deep South circa the mid-1950s. Living with her bitter grandmother (Piper Laurie) and disturbingly callous father (David Morse), Lewellen distracts herself from the...
