thepartydjz This film will strike a chord with those that appreciate such films as "Repo Man" and other "cult classics". I've read several reviews and I have to disagree with most if not all of them.If you enjoy films that have strange characters and give talented actors the opportunity to elaborate on such characters you are definitely in for a special treat.First off Jake Busey who possesses nearly all of his father's natural charisma is as far left of your standard Hollywood leading man as you can possibly get. His character grows on you as the film progresses. His most unlikely sidekick Jules (Crispin Glover) is as off the wall as can be and the role is mastered by the quirky Glover as only his style can deliver.I've read several negative reviews on Jennifer Tilly, I think they are completely unfair and I truly believe she nails her role (no pun intended) she plays a porn star. A porn star who believes she can break into "straight" films and become a star. She lives an insanely crazy life and is dominated by an equally crazy and controlling husband. Enter Eric Roberts, his performance is simply amazing. As usual give Eric an insane, controlling, bad guy role and he excels.Many of the scenes will be disturbing to some but they are also very gripping scenes and I believe the editing adds to the tension of the scenes. There is also some very clever dark humor involved, if you don't get it this film is probably not for you. Also worth mentioning is Tilly's character's favorite song, the classic rock ballad "I'm in You" by Peter Frampton, if there is a hidden meaning in this film then this is as deep as it gets.Please view this film with an open mind, there is no deep message or hero. Many have labeled it a "Road Trip" film, I'll simply call it a trip, and invite all who enjoy breakout characters to come along for the ride. If you're tired of typical Hollywood flicks you will find this film very refreshing.And, I am very critical of films, out of 50 I might really like one, and I really like this one. My only requirement is that it must be "different" and this one certainly fits that description. You will also want to view it multiple times, the scenes and the acting are that good. It does get better each time you see it.

saywardstudio If you're looking for a different movie, this is definitely one to look into. I watched this one on YouTube movies, so you can watch it there if they still have it. The characters are bizarre, the plot is bizarre, and it ends pretty bizarre. There was more than one "What the..?" moment throughout. There is plenty of gratuitous sexuality and drug use as well as some genuinely funny moments. This movie made me laugh out loud more than once, which I thought was unique because it was not listed as a comedy and was funnier than some movies that claim that title. There seemed to be a good level of character development, and even though Rick seems like a drug head porn addict, he is clearly compassionate with his newfound friend, who is passionate about birds (as his father has built a bird store, and now new owners have it), and regrets accidentally killing a bird as a child, and he never quite got over it. The little showdown in the bird store brought the characters around full circle, as Rick sides with his friend about the mistreatment of a hawk. The ending is sad and in a way ambiguous. Rick and his friend are thrown from the car in an accident, and the full closing of one body bag means he didn't make it. Rick's bag however remains open, with a quick shot at the end of the zipper being pulled up, but it's so quick I wasn't sure if he had lived or died. It made me feel weird, much like an unresolved problem in life that I can't fathom out, I can't change. The movie is over, there is no more. I quickly recapped and remembered how many emotions are tied up in this film. It is weird, funny, tragic, erotic, sad. It was over too quick. Then I sat back, thought about it for another second and thought, "That WAS a GOOD movie."

film1freak Crispin Glover rocks! The rest of the film on the other hand . . . does not. In fact, the rest of this flick was the minor millipede getting squashed by the crispy rock. Interesting enough to keep you until the end but for some reason the movie forgot to deliver.

sedatemeplease This is such a strange film. It's not trying to cater to the entire audience, so I'm positive not everyone will like it. It's a love it or hate it.I think it's good because it's not your everyday film. He feel weird and a little sick while watching the movie, just because of how the characters act. But everyone acts well, even Jennifer Tilly, who's acting bad on purpose.Another scratch on the plus side is the very cool shot effects. They kind of move, and add extra scenes the parallel with whats going on. You'd have to see it to understand.So, I give this movie a solid 7/10, maybe 7.5/10. Good flick, definitly give it a chance, at least.
