Relax mate, it's only a movie
neyib_bandy10 December 2002
Just finished watching this movie and taking in mind the fact that I

started watching it at 5:00a.m. it gives you a pretty good clue that

there was really nothing on T.V. but this seemed interesting

enough. If you get passed the small stories within the stories you

might find it entertaining enough. Centered around a stunt gone

wrong and a need to get away from it all, our "hero" escapes to

New Zealand for a much needed break form it all. Small

adventures evolve and our hero and has newly found selves find

themselves in one adventure after another. Not: If for nothing else, watch the movie to see Zoe Naylor, you'll

thank me later.

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers herein.

This is the thinnest of excuses for inserting action scenes of different types. The approach is that kind used by TeeVee: we all know the artifice and play along for the sake of the stunts. This one is self-referential in having the main character be a stuntman. The drama stems from a stunt gone wrong, apparently intended to add to the risk of what we see afterwards which we all know will turn out okay.

Along the way, we have various movie-type love stories.

I'm interested in the way that redheads are used, especially in films like this. The stuntwoman who is killed is a redhead, as is the girlfriend in the second love plot, and also as is the sister's love child.

Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 4: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
