How do the director, producer, and writer sleep at night?!?!
1 April 2001
Sorry for the long review, but I can't remain quiet on this one! Please read on to save yourself from pain!

This is just one of the poorest examples of American film! From the moment that the viewer is unfortunate enough to hit the "play" button on the DVD player (or VCR) he/she is subjected to HORRIBLE acting, fake southern accents the likes of which have not been heard in years, interaction between characters completely devoid of any form of relationship norms, and characters that don't even belong in the film.

How dare the director think us viewers completely stupid enough to think that when in the beginning of the film they are driving through "Kentucky", when it is clearly a desert! (the Southern California Desert to be exact). Then they arrive in "Missouri" which is obviously filmed just outside LA. Their entire drive across the country for the first extremely tedious 25 minutes is through Southern California! What garbage - the director and producers should be ashamed! I was appalled!

Next the scenes are ridiculous, the characters that show up have no relationship to what is going on and the end is just INANE! How could a broke, jobless, loser like this woman have enough furnishings for a large house?!?!?!?! This is just unrealistic at best. Why many of the characters even were brought into the film is beyond me! And HELLO - a Coffee Enema?!?!?! What was that put in the film for?!?!?! Please....I kept watching through the whole film just to see how much more ridiculous and far fetched this film could get! I laughed for nearly the entire length of the film!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also was completely embarrassed for the director and actors! How could they actually release this film and sleep at night!!!!!!!!!??????! I want my money back for the rental!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awful, Awful, Awful - I gave it 2 out of 10 and I was being more than generous! Save yourselves the anguish! I don't understand these people who said it was brilliant - obviously you haven't been exposed to quality films in your life time!
