If "smell-o-vision" is ever actually invented, and you stumble upon this first-class disaster, the smell of failure (dog turds) WILL waft through your television. How in the hell the entire cast got through this fiasco of a production with a straight is beyond me. AND!...and!!...that the good folks at HBO include this in their programming, subjecting us to possibly the worst acting performances in cinematic history, is dumbfounding!! I mean, they had to have felt like less of a human being by actually ACCEPTING their paychecks when it was over. Honestly, by the end, I couldn't turn it off because I was in tears laughing hysterically (and deep down thinking, is this for real?? I mean I hit the "info" button on my remote to make sure it wasn't classified as a comedy!!) I realize Swain, Madsen, Gossett Jr., et al, aren't Oscar caliber actors, but that they lent their acting "talents" to this garbage is truly baffling. I'd normally tell potential viewers to stay the hell away, but it's almost worth your time to enjoy some good belly laughs at the expense of the entire cast and crew...just make sure to have a barf bag close at hand.
