revnickie All the comments about "suspension of disbelief" in here are making me LOL. This really happened people. Pretty much word for word. "Al White Motors." The tapes are REAL. I did not know someone made a movie out of them. They are much more interesting and extensive than the Tube Bar calls. It sure is making me feel like I have some secret information, which is a really hard thing to do these days, what with everyone and everything on the Internet. Do some research! Not trying to be confrontational. I just think it is hilarious. This movie is a tribute to the Greatest Practical Joke of all time. I'm happy I knew about it in its original form, because no movie could ever do it justice.
glawritson-1 "... quicker than a cat can lick it's a_s!" LMAO!!! This movie is earthy and real. There ARE characters out there like Ace, his 'girlfriend', and his Colonel Sanders look-a-like boss. If you look real hard, I bet you see Karl and the lawnmower shop from Slingblade next door! hahahahaha The characters were outstanding, revenge was believable, the music was excellent (love Lousiana swamp blues!), and I about wet my pants with the brace-and-bit scene I laughed so hard. The only regret (and I mean the only regret) was that we never got to really see his tormentor! Buy this movie (don't just rent it), send the wife and kids to the mall, get serious with your favorite 6-pack, nuke up some 'corndogs', and prepare to laugh yourself into a coma!
Donald Kimball This has got to be one of the most aggravating films i have ever seen, yet from the instant you start the film you cant get up and walk away i have watched it several times now i have a copy of my own everyone i show it to agrees its the most aggravating and rude film out there outstanding!!!!!!!!!! I wish they would release it on DVD I have a VHS copy and it was hard to find took several months to find it. I think it was a real gas the way the phone kept ringing and he knew it was the prank caller and yet he kept picking up the phone and it got to the point he was talking to him on the phone like he was his friend I got a kick out of it when he sent him some birthday gifts and this guy opened them up and seemed to really like the gifts.The rest of the crew in the film were a gas as well spying on each other in the restroom and eating those corn dogs. Pick up a copy and have fun!!!!
manalone923 This film was thrust upon me by one of my more assertive friends, Pat. Pat's tastes and mine rarely mesh when it comes to movies, and when he put it in the vcr and insisted I see it, I wasn't too thrilled. But I must admit, I found it interesting. I knew nothing about it, so when I see this boat salesman resembling Boss Hogg answering the phone and hearing a goofily - voiced prank caller, I assumed it would be just one of several things that would be annoying and pointless. And at first, that is what I got. With every phone ring, and every chant of the man answering "Triple K Marine!" I was annoyed and confused. Is this the whole movie? Well, as it turns out, yes. But then a cool thing happened. The phone calls, while at first irritating, start to get less so when you do realize that they're the cornerstone of the entire film. Why does this prankster keep calling the boat salesman, and how much is the poor sap willing to take? Thus the movie became slowly more engrossing, and little by very little, more important information is revealed. It turns out there is more to this telephone terrorist than we at first think, and every new bit of information is awkwardly digested by the poor old boat salesman as we watch and wait to see what happens and what choices must be made. The ending is open to debate as to whether it made the whole slow buildup worth it, but I myself think it was. It's a good movie with a good (albeit maybe sad) ultimate message, even if it does take a long time to slowly unroll. But I must give credit to the script and the actors who perform it, because what could be a relentlessly maddening hour and a half of uninteresting phone conversations, is skillfully turned into an interesting and funny (and finally dramatic) story of two lives intersecting for a very legitamite reason. It's worth watching, if not just to hear the goofy phone calls (one of which features my favorite line, quoted at the top) and the even goofier reactions of the beleagered boat guy. Unique fun and drama, and an interesting surprise.
