The Worst Film Ever

Sadly Over-hyped

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Kisses and Carroms or American Balls(!) begins a bit cheekily with the description of carom - "a shot in billiards in which the cue ball successively strikes two other balls." Maybe that's explains the billiards store, cue sticks, balls etc. But the human cue ball here is Zack who keeps striking his girlfriend Jennifer and another friend Tara together on bed :=DIt's a crazy flick. Jennifer has no qualms of her boyfriend having a threesome with their close friend Tara as she feels that will further the love he has for her!! There are some quite sick scenes that include a shot of a toilet where a guy just finished potty(was that required?) and then putting his hand into it to retrieve his wedding ring(yuck). And another scene of Tara picking & picking her nose(sigh). The acting is decent but it doesn't matter if the end product is kinda insane :)And a loooong, boring confrontation scene between a therapist, Zack, Jennifer and Zack's friend David whom our therapist catches making out with his wife(hehe).I did like some of the emotional moments here like Tara convincing Zack to not give up on Jennifer or the final scene where Zack & Jennifer apologise and make up. But why all that goody, goody jazz if the end involves all the three intending to make out again! Oh ya, its all in the game if you love your boyfriend, right? Verdict: Rated R for adult and annoying!

In California, Zack (Drew Wicks) owns the "Breakingtime Billiards", a store that sells pool tables and game room supplies. He works with his girlfriend Jennifer (Nikki Stanzione); the sexy seller Tara (Nicole Rayburn); the installer of pool tables and best friend, the wolf David (Ryan Parks), and his idiot assistant Eddie (Keith Alexander). After having a threesome arranged by Jen with Tara, Zach breaks up his relationship with Jen, in spite of her bringing him up all the time. He tells his sexual experience to David while Jen asks for an advice to her psychologist Dr. Bob Johnson (Bart Shattuck) in his radio show. Along the day and after the visit of many peculiar clients, Zack concludes that Jen is his dream girl."Kisses & Caroms" is visibly inspired in Kevin Smith's "Clerks" and "American Pie" franchise, with erotic and gross jokes and situations. However, this low budget movie has an ace called Nicole Rayburn. This unknown actress is extremely sexy and attractive with her luscious body, has a good acting and is the greatest attraction of this very reasonable independent film. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Kisses & Caroms"

This fun little romp into the world of billiards is just as good or better than many films I've seen in all the various video stores and yet I had to schmooze my way into obtaining a screener copy. It amazes me how even after you've completed a pretty darn good movie, you have to wait and wait for it to see any kind of release.The film itself is a romantic comedy that most of the time hits it's mark and flows well and maintains interest. The language is pretty bawdy at times, but accurate in representing the culture-du-jour and the characters are all believable and relateable (I'm sure neither of those words are readable, let alone definable).The title is a bit esoteric, and at first glance makes me think of Hershey's Kisses and chocolate carobs, but watching Nicole Rayburn as Tara certainly took my mind off everything else. To quote a famous line from one of my all-time favorite movies, "Schwing... Yada, yada, yada".Bottom line, a fun film, a great first film, and entertaining to the last ball.

I love how I can relate to the main characters. They're all just screwed up enough in the head that I feel like I'm watching my own life on the screen(except my life isn't quite that exciting.) I don't know anybody who couldn't relate to this movie, or find it hilarious! They did a great job on this one. I wanna see more movies like this one. It makes me feel like I'm not as far off as I thought. The main characters put it all on the line. They're like open books. The producers of this one did a great job putting it all on the line for the audience to see. I haven't seen a movie like this since "Kids" and "Clerks". Great job guys!
