Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Excellent, a Must See

Charming and brutal

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The last person stated they wanted the movie to never end. I couldn't wait for it to be over. I spent a $1 at a thrift store on it and that was too much. Had I not bought it I could have saved two hours of my life. The acting makes me want to vomit. It was so word for word off the script and the script sucked. I like the soldier making out with two chicks at the bus stop. That was classic. I gave it a 3 star. Because I like John Larroquette. (even though while I lived in LA we took a leak next to each other in a bathroom and told him I was a huge fan. He just ignored me. Maybe it was where I mentioned it?) :-) All and all the movie sucks.

Wow, where to begin with this film. The characters were mostly uninspired, broken, and sparsely developed; the plot was simple, boring, and overdone; the 'artsy' characteristics of the film weren't touching, clever, or interesting; and the cinematography wasn't appealing.I felt like I was thrust into a mid-80's MTV street dance video full of mentally-undeveloped, childishly-simple personas who couldn't believe they were who they are. The story didn't flow and felt like cogs meshing together in a very obvious way.A couple of the actors were good and portrayed realistic emotion. One character was developed and worthy of life. The 'point' of the movie isn't worth making.I was left feeling unamused.

I just saw this film, having recorded it on my ReplayTV. I liked it very much. I am a fan of Genevieve Bujold and try to see her films. It was occasionally a bit confusing and took a little while for everything to sink in.Some characters, such as Zack really didn't make much sense. Also, what was he doing in a Studebaker? The poker game was fun, and even had a Goethe quotation, which I remember from way back in college (the late fifties).Does anyone else think that the final scene is a recreation of the final scene of the Graduate? As soon as I saw it, that it what came to mind. Am I nuts, or not remembering, or is it really so?

This film has always struck a special chord with me, although not all of the friends I've recommended it to over the years have liked it. I think you have to be a city person who's gone through some hard knocks in love to really embrace it. The scenes featuring Rae Dawn Chong aren't so special...(she's the weakest link)...but the scene where Bujold chats with Carradine after sex while getting dressed for work, the scenes with Dr. Love on the radio, the scene where Warren comes home from work to find that her roommate has stolen her boyfriend...these all have an immediate, bittersweet quality that's very haunting. Overall, the acting is flawless, and the whole film is an original. I only wish it were longer.
