1. Its okay to trust your dangerous employer with a gun while you're confined to a wheelchair.

2. As the sheriff of the town, there's no need to worry about a wealthy lady who sends a ranch hand to threaten someone as long as they say, "he doesn't always know his boundaries."

3. When your ex-girlfriend advises that she realizes your mother is dangerous while telling you she's witnessed your mother doing terrible things, its okay to leave your wife in the same house recuperating from an accident.

4. If you're a reporter who, after years, is granted an interview with someone suspected of possible illegal activity, don't worry about meeting with the person alone, in the middle of practically nowhere.

5. Make sure you sing a song (even if you really can't) while searching for the person you're going to shoot.

6. When you realize your new mother-in-law is a habitual manipulative liar who ordered her ranch hand to assault you AND run you off the road, by all means have your husband take you back to mother-in-law's house twice to rest and recuperate.

Remember: No matter where you go, there you are.

7. Even though you're boss is a murderer and has you hidden away from the world in a hotel room, its ok to trust that the bottle of wine she gives you is not poisoned.

8. When you dress a patient for a funeral, make sure you put her in the brightest dress you can find. (Though the staff may not have had a choice.)

9. If you see a wheelchair bound relative slumped down in the chair, at the funeral, in a bright dress, simply have her covered with a black lace scarf. Don't bother to help them sit up as it wouldn't be embarrassing for them to fall down.

10. As a reporter interviewing a potentially dangerous woman in the middle of nowhere, don't be alarmed by the interviewees usage of words such as "bloody...." or "dirty hands..." And once you've been shot, stare at the person instead of playing dead to maybe save your life.

11) Avoid eating dairy and learn to food combine. Oh wait, that is what I learned from "The Total Health Makeover."

12) If you're locked in a room by your psycho mother-in-law and need to yell out the window, don't open the window or break the glass so that you can be heard. Just yell through the closed window and hope that you will be heard--which, of course, you won't.

13) If you are being attacked by same psycho mother-in-law, don't fight back or hit them with a blunt object in the room, don't make any attempt at defending yourself. Just continually cower, act helpless and passive and be the victim.

uH, 13 IS NOT A 100.

All you really need to tell people is

Don't waste your time on this lame-o movie.

If you are the abused daughter and you want to rescue the fiance from the room she was locked up in, put the key on paper and push it under the door to the fiance instead of using it to unlock the door yourself.

15. If you're chasing your target through a house, be sure to sing out "COME TO MOOOMMY!" showing your Big-Bad-Wolf-like teeth also.

"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

The fiance was locked in the room by the psycho mother. The mother left the key in the keyhole outside the fiance's room. The fiance put the paper under the door and pushed the key out to fall on the paper. The fiance opened the door just as the abused daughter got there.

If a person with multiple personality s threatens to commit suicide, is that a hostage situation

IMDB don't bother making 'goofs' lists for crappy films like this as there are just sooooo many
