    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The photo of Vanessa's (Reese Witherspoon's) father that she shows to Bob (Kiefer Sutherland) is of mass murderer Richard Speck.
    • Goofs
      When Bob and Vanessa are fighting in the trailer Bob fires off 19 shots. Bob appears to be wielding a .45 semi-automatic pistol with a standard magazine, which means it could hold 9 bullets (8 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber). Even an extended magazine (which would have been clearly visible protruding from the bottom of the gun handle) would only hold 14 bullets maximum.
    • Quotes

      Vanessa Lutz: Holy shit! Look who got beaten with the ugly stick! Is that you, Bob? I can't believe such a teeny weeny little gun made such a big mess out of someone! You are so ugly, Bob! And, hey, I heard you have one of those big poop bags that's like attached to where the shit comes out the side, you're just a big old shitbag ain't you, Bob! You just think of me every time you empty that motherfucking thing, motherfucker!

    • Crazy credits
      The beginning credits play over a series of color drawings (in a style similar to cartoonist Robert Crumb) in a hip retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood story.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK version suffered two cuts, totalling about 7 seconds. The first occurs when Mimi Wolverton discovers her husbands porn magazine collection. The missing footage briefly showed the cover of a magazine "Cock Sucking Toddlers". The second missing shot is of Vanessa's murdered grandmother in her trailer home. The cuts were fully waived for the 2007 Blackhorse DVD release.

    How did I ever miss this movie before
    Although it started out slow, it really picked up the pace when Vanessa gets into Bob's SUV type vehicle. As the movie went on, it easily turned out to be one of the best movies I've seen in years. Dark, gory and still full of laughs in a twisted way. How Reese Witherspoon didn't win an Academy Award for this is a mystery. I have found new respect for Reese and glad to know she isn't all about fluff movies catering to woman (i.e., "Sweet Home Alabama"). I hope Reese digs into the grittier side of life again and does another movie of the "Freeway" caliber and leave her mantle of "the next Meg Ryan" at home!

    Way to go Reese, this movie is definitely worth owning!
