thepartydjz This film will strike a chord with those that appreciate such films as "Repo Man" and other "cult classics". I've read several reviews and I have to disagree with most if not all of them.If you enjoy films that have strange characters and give talented actors the opportunity to elaborate on such characters you are definitely in for a special treat.First off Jake Busey who possesses nearly all of his father's natural charisma is as far left of your standard Hollywood leading man as you can possibly get. His character grows on you as the film progresses. His most unlikely sidekick Jules (Crispin Glover) is as off the wall as can be and the role is mastered by the quirky Glover as only his style can deliver.I've read several negative reviews on Jennifer Tilly, I think they are completely unfair and I truly believe she nails her role (no pun intended) she plays a porn star. A porn star who believes she can break into "straight" films and become a star. She lives an insanely crazy life and is dominated by an equally crazy and controlling husband. Enter Eric Roberts, his performance is simply amazing. As usual give Eric an insane, controlling, bad guy role and he excels.Many of the scenes will be disturbing to some but they are also very gripping scenes and I believe the editing adds to the tension of the scenes. There is also some very clever dark humor involved, if you don't get it this film is probably not for you. Also worth mentioning is Tilly's character's favorite song, the classic rock ballad "I'm in You" by Peter Frampton, if there is a hidden meaning in this film then this is as deep as it gets.Please view this film with an open mind, there is no deep message or hero. Many have labeled it a "Road Trip" film, I'll simply call it a trip, and invite all who enjoy breakout characters to come along for the ride. If you're tired of typical Hollywood flicks you will find this film very refreshing.And, I am very critical of films, out of 50 I might really like one, and I really like this one. My only requirement is that it must be "different" and this one certainly fits that description. You will also want to view it multiple times, the scenes and the acting are that good. It does get better each time you see it.

killalotlml 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.

Tiger_Mark I liked this film, I liked it a lot. I like all trashy films that deal with the Southern Cal porn industry. Moreover, include Crispin Glover, Busey, Goldberg, Tilley and Lyone? Man, this is a great cast! The story is an odd little mixture of various weird characters trying hard to make a happy existence in a somewhat ugly world. You want further proof that this is a great film? Ron Jeremy is cast as a sleazy restraunt manager that hits on his young waitresses. What more can I say? This film has sex, drugs, rock n roll and a bunch of unique actors being given the freedom to be crazy. Good Stuff!

George Parker "Fast Sofa" manages to take a bunch of B-movie actors and drag them down with this sub-C project which probably never saw the light of a projector. There's nothing in this piece of garbage floating like flotsam now on cable worth mentioning. Watching paint dry would be more entertaining. (F+)
