Strange film...

This film is unlike any other by a long ways, although it somehow makes me think of the Big Lebowski, I don't know why.

Somehow, and I'm not sure how, this movie manages to be pretty good. It is far greater than the sum of its parts.

There is no thread of a story and no script whatsoever, but a few good actors pick up the other ones, and the events of the film are never predictable.

There is a tasty soundtrack in this one, songs I've never heard before, but they fit the feel of the film very, very well.

Angelina Jolie has never looked better (or worse, eh), but Anne Archer looks just as sexy. It sounds unthinkable, but this weird film makes it true!

If you can see this for free and like offbeat films, I recommend that you see it.

They have an expression for incomprehensible movies with no story and a lousy script: it's called a "bad movie." Trust me, Danny Aiello never did a movie that was over your head.

I love this movie, too. i also noticed it has one of the guys from Idle Hands in it (the dude who plays Kaiser in this movie). Another cheesy favorite of mine

It was sort of strange. It was one of those independent movies made for a dime.
great cast.

i got this on a very cheap double feature along with "changing habits" i think, what a strange movie this was, it's like when the woman said "you wanna see something?", i got a twilight zone flashback and thought as she turns her head there'd be a monster where her face used to be, as in the opening of twilight zone - the movie.

she treats me right,
when the people have put me down,
i was feelin about an inch tall,
in the field all alone,
talking behind my back in town,
and don't share a kind word or smile,
she comes around,
and treats me right.
