This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

just watch it!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Think of this as a low budget "Close Encounters" without aliens. Larry (Patrick Killian) has a successful career as a pizza delivery boy. He is fascinate by alien encounters and is part of a UFO group that believe something is going to happen with the millennium only a week away. At the UFO group meeting, introverted Larry meets the highly extroverted Pam (Elyse Ashton), the babe in the group, who goes home with him.Sure she is crazy, but she is good looking, brings her own coke, and likes making love while Larry wears a space alien gray mask. Having met what would be the love of my life, Larry tosses it all away as he is drawn to the black mail box by Area 51. He must make a pilgrimage to be there at the millennium.Larry doesn't have many lines. His life is a sad comedy. The film holds your interest in a quirky sort of way. What is curious are the names that appear on the front of DVD cover, "Shaun Johnston, Kim Hogan, and David Everhart" as their names are not associated with any of the credits of this film at IMDB. Could someone toss me a bone on that one?Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, no nudity.

Well, this movie can. It's like a bunch random events one after another (the script was probably thrown together on a beer drinking/weed smoking afternoon). I couldn't tell you what the story is about, even if you'd point a gun at my head. There is no point watching this, because it gives you a serious headache, or, what's worse, tons of restless hours wondering what was this all about. However, there are things I realized after the ending:Nevada desert is full of strange, possibly mentally handicapped peopleYou should never try to find a black mailbox unless you are a taciturn, annoying Pizza guy wearing jeans and red T shirt Twisted goth chicks will make love to you only when you're wearing a ridiculous UFO mask Never try hitchhiking if you can't make a distinction between black and white Famous businessmen try to vitalize themselves by drilling their foreheadTo cut a long story short, "Lift" is a bad, meaningless, irritating experience. Consider yourself to be warned, avoid this disaster at all costs! I told you...

Once again Block Buster's previously viewed section got me. This time with Lift, I thought Ufo's and Alien's might be cool, right?Wrong, the film is about a young pizza delivery driver. He is obsessed with Ufo's and Alien's. Like a not so cool Fox Molder from the X-Files. The movie seemed long and drawn out but had a few cool spots along the way. Only one scene makes it worth watching. The first sex scene had me almost spitting beer at the T.V. from across the room. The main character's coked out abducty screw buddy ask's him to put on an alien mask while they do the nasty..... Ya, you heard me right! If you like the funny then rent this movie watch it to that point and take it back.

During the week after Christmas, 1999, Larry quits his job in California as a pizza delivery-boy because he wants to be near Rachel, Nevada, on New Year's Day, which is where and when he believes that aliens will save people gathered, before the aliens destroy existing humanity. Larry's trip is the basis for this movie, during which we are introduced to several interesting characters who he meets along the way. And Larry, himself, is quietly interesting, in part because he's so easily influenced. I ask myself, "Is this meant to be nothing more than entertaining? And/or, should I look for a deeper meaning here?" I can usually guess at a "cheapie's" deeper meaning, to salvage my rating of it. But less frequently do I find such films entertaining. Guess what, though? It's refreshing to say that - absent any conspicuous features which emphasize a small budget - this quirky film ranks above-average on my entertainment scale. I'm not gonna look any deeper.
