5 stars. . . . all for beautiful and talented Susan Tyrrell whose perfect and funny portrayal of a trailer trash mom steals the show.Even Drew Barrymore's little bikini scene doesn't save this light scare-fest from expected oblivion, but the film is redeemed whenever Susan is on-screen, especially during the scenes that involve the 'loving' home-life she provides for her two rotten kids. Richard Masur is cool as an ascetic desert rat, but a wet mop would have fared better than Matt Frewer (of 'Max Headroom' notoriety) as Drew's goofy father.Contemporary B-film which doesn't quite deliver the thrills, but stands as one to check out just to see Susan Tyrrell call her daughter to the evening meal by yelling "Dinnertime!" right into her ear at close range. . . . fish sticks, anyone?

Fair thriller about a father/daughter tandem that gets stranded in a trailer park due to the lack of gasoline. Berrymore does an average job, the best acting probably on behalf of Pinky Sears. If nothing else, the story is just good enough to keep you tuned in and it sure doesn't hurt when you have two of the hottest females in Berrymore, and more so in Tilly, who I cant believe is 31 in this movie! she looks so fine. I wish Jennifer Tilly would have done some films before she got so old, but she still looks pretty fine in this movie. I have to give it a 5 because its just that- average.. and I laugh at the 54 people that gave this a "10" no way in hell.

when i rented this film it was just because i am fourteen and i wanted to see a movie dedicated to someone my age. i love drew barrymore and andras jones so this was a special treat. drew barrymore was the perfect example of a teenage girl and what she thinks of her father. andras jones was chilling as a beaten teenage boy with a chilling obsession. i would really recommend this movie to anyone that wants to have something to do that is worth their time.

The film was good, but would have been much better if there was more of the woman in the trailer. She was the best thing in the whole movie! She kept us all wanting for more. Perhaps she might have played the Drew Barrymore part?
