Goofs

Near the end of the movie, when Lorraine's character is holding the shotgun on Roy right after the car wreck, she fires the gun once over Roy's head, then pumps the shotgun, but no empty shell is ejected, which is impossible. Worse yet, she delivers another line of dialogue and then pumps the shotgun a second time without having fired it again and, once more, no shell is ejected. Roy would have known the gun was empty.

Quotes

Roy: I smell like a fucking candy cane. Thanks.

User Reviews

Don't waste the electricity of your DVD player to play this movie.

This is a great film for exactly what your typical air head blondes would do in such situations.

I would love to meet the director of this movie and try and understand how he would ever approve such a disaster.

This movie has many scenes that will make you go WTF? Unbelievable events , broken story .

Watched it thought hey it would be a great movie , but the events that unfold , the countless blonde moments where she had a chance to deal with the situation .

Perhaps it should be called When a blonde is car jacked. Because the level of stupidity in this movie clearly reflects that.

I would not advise anyone to waste their time on this movie. I have no clue who authorized such a disaster bs movie. Don't waste your time with this. I gave it 2-10 because it had a good theme. But failed in performance and the situations it portrayed. Unbelievable garbage .
