Janeane Garofalo saves the film.

Saves it from a whopping '1' rating, that is. She was the only thing interesting in this film with her great performance as a psycho-date. The rest of the film was shoddily put together with pointless dramatic scenes, (the girl imprisons herself in a tree house and everyone comes running? Please...) and obvious comedic inserts to break whatever tension that somehow amounted. Overall it's a crummy film...airlines shouldn't even view it for risk of starting a complimentary peanut-throwing riot.
