It happened to me.
29 September 2002 | by JulietV – See all my reviews

Having lived in Las Vegas every day of my life, I was enjoying it, up until the end. How freaking depressing, since it mirrors what happened to me almost exactly. (Only my mom was a nurse, not a stripper.)

Sad, sad movie, not sad in a good way, like "Beaches" or "Steel Magnolias"...just depressing!

Brittany Murphy is going to be getting an Oscar someday, she's always so good in movies. If you like her, I'd suggest Freeway or something else.
