That was an excellent one.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I kept waiting for a storyline, a plot, something other than a series of actions by a group of pretty pathetic characters. Jake Busey is fun to watch and did OK. I just wanted to slap Crispin Glover. The only way anybody could be so stupid and unaware of the real world is to live in his basement bedroom with no radio or television his entire life. And never go outside. And as an actor, wherever I see he's going to be in a movie, it always seems to be the same character. Not sure about his range as a performer. Jennifer Tilley's character was all over the place. I couldn't figure out where she as coming from. It just goes to show that even with a voice like hers, you can make it in movies. I should give all would-be actors hope. At least Busey's character knew what he wanted. Sex and beer and then sex and any other kind of liquor that was available. Seemed like someone knew that if you make a movie and throw in enough skin, boobs, drinking, drugs and weird sex there will be an audience. Unless you are pretty open minded, not recommended as a "date movie."

I personally enjoyed this movie a lot. It doesn't have neither a sophisticated story line nor stupid cheesy elements which are so often encountered in mainstream films. The movie has a nothing-to-lose feel about it, which is very relaxing and enjoyable. I especially enjoy road-trip films (see Going To California), which makes this one very close to my heart. Also my fondness of Heavy Metal allows me to relate to the main charachter Rick. Probably the best scene in the movie is the one in which he wakes up in the morning after being beat up and drives off to kick his offenders' asses to the sounds of Ace Of Spades.

This is a very strange movie. Lets get that down first. It is similar in that regard to recent films like Doom Generation and Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trick Baby. It is violent, can be repulsive and disgusting, and is not for everybody. But if you like this type of film, this is a great film. By all means I recomend it highly, especially if you want to see more of Jennifer Tilly than you have before. Definately an unusal but fun (if you are into this type of film) ride.

This film is a sort of torture, but with just rewards. If you can make it through the first 27 minutes and 36 seconds, you are rewarded with the always-delightful Crispin Glover, playing a red-headed wandering-eyed bird-loving robbery victim. His greatness just barely balances out the awfulness of his partner-in-crime, Jake Busey's drug-wielding porn-addict with about all the acting skill of a porn star himself. Watching him hit on various women throughout the film is both embarrassing AND sleazy at the same time! Luckily Adam Goldberg, Jennifer Tilly, and Natasha Lyonne are all also present, still enjoyable actors despite their miniscule mediocre roles in the film. This movie is worth it if you are a diehard fan of Crispin Glover(fast fowarding through most of the other parts is a must, though), or a fan of ridiculous pornography that pretends to be a real film I suppose.
