User Reviews

Wow... bored from the minute it started

Honestly you can watch this thing in fast forward and still understand the gist of the movie, because that's exactly what I did. I think all the actors did a decent job (I've seen Kelly Lynch in other things and she's great), but the plot was wretched and the characters were flimsy. Who acts like these people?

Here's a run down of the main characters: Connie: too over-the-top pathetic Ellen: Hot, but not interesting Joe: WTF!! The moral transformation- "bad boy turned good" was phony.

Actually the only great character was played by Joe Pantoliano. Maybe the movie should have been about him and not these confused and hard-up people.
