Storyline
Al McCord is hanging out at his favourite restaurant when he meets an attractive young woman (Ellie) who is looking for a ride from the city out into the Mojave Desert, where her mother lives. Little does he know that while Ellie is falling in love with him, he is falling for her mother (Julie), despite the nearby presence of Julie's boyfriend who seems likely to go berzerk at any moment. Even more strange, hilarious events follow and it's up to Al to find some explanation. His life may never again be the same. Written by Neil Wick <neil@wick.net>

Al: [first lines - narration] Ever get so bored with your life, you're afraid your gonna do something stupid? And then you get afraid you're so far gone you can't even think up something stupid to do any more? Well last year when my wife and I split up, I decided to leave New York, thought I'd go to Seattle. Then I remembered, Seattle has even more serial killers than Long Island. Add that to the big coffee house scene, and you got a town filled with psychopaths - who are always awake.Al: Six months in...

Even though I gave it only 3 stars, I still liked this movie. Aiello, Archer and Jolie are all very good actors and they mesh pretty well in this. Biehn and Molina are caricatures and I wonder why. Well, no I don't. I blame the director. What could have been a very thoughtful film turns into a lame, sophomoric second half. Too bad; Biehn and Molina are competent actors but the cartoonish stuff blows. Oh well, Aiello and Asher are always good, Jolie is so attractive and sexy that were she more so the screen would explode. This could have been a much better film. However, the movie is photographed beautifully. I just checked the credits and it appears the director does nothing but TV series. This film should have gone to someone like Bogdanovich or even DePalma. Oh well.
