QuirkyCat ...could have been really good. The acting seemed a little stiff and almost like the actors were a bit bored. I have seen all the main actors in other movies and in those, they were great. This movie brought up some good ideas but they were either never developed further (so, why raise them in the first place) or they were not resolved. And, there were a few instances where I was a bit confused as to how that situation came about, although, I figured it out fairly quickly. There are much worse movies showing on "mainstream" circuit. It was also pleasant to watch a movie with no violence, gore, swearing etc. With a bit more story development and more convincing acting, wow, what a wonderful movie this could have been. So, overall, not bad.

kylere This movie feels (at best) like a 1980's after-school special, with lower production values and dialog that would embarrass a 1940's comic book writer. When it feels like it breaks the after-school special mode, it is merely because it slips into feeling like an old VHS tape shared by all the local xian churches.Juliette Lewis was the selling point for me and she failed to deliver, I can blame her on some levels but the writing was just so atrocious that I am shocked she took the part. Andy Garcia must have been bored, and the lead actress basically derps from scene to scene without actually acting.

Ali Khashei except Andy Garcia which is one of my favorite actors of all time,all the actors were terribly bad... the acting was that bad sometimes i thought i'm watching porn.. fake reactions fake laughs and all the fake acts was really really annoying and i just can blame the director because i saw Camilla Belle in good movies that she did well in them or Juliette Lewis has done some very good acting in some movies.. but they were awfully fake in this movie.. the only thing kept me somehow enthusiastic was the writing in some point and some good dialogs and the whole indie mellow theme of the movie which i liked the most about the movie..

Larry Silverstein Although certainly not he worst movie I've ever seen, I felt this indie film was marred by very contrived plot elements and cardboard characters.Camilla Belle stars as the aloof and mysterious young woman Angie, who's working as a waitress in a small town in Arizona, after traveling from her home country of Brazil to search for someone, although we don't know who or why. At nights, she goes into the desert alone, sleeps in a tent, and paints and sketches.To add to the mystery , she won't reveal any of her background to co-workers, and rebuffs any of their attempts at socializing with her. Through flashbacks, there's hints of a possible rape at one time, although these may just be recurrent nightmares.In the desert she befriends a homeless man named Chuck, portrayed by the acclaimed actor Andy Garcia, who sleeps in his broken down truck -- (when she was in school she must have missed the classes in Safety 101 which may have suggested that befriending a homeless man in the middle of the desert at night is not exactly a wise choice). Anyway, Chuck tells Angie that he was once wealthy but "messed up".He tells Angie she's young and should move on with her life and she takes his advice and hits the open road. She ends up sound asleep, in her car, on the side of the road (again-should have attended that Safety class). She's awoken by a highway patrol officer named David, portrayed by Colin Egglesfield who wants to know if she's alright.However, her car has blown a head gasket so he offers to help her get towed to a garage in town, as well as a place to stay at his trailer while the repairs go on. They're attracted to each other, but while David seems like a super nice guy Angie still won't reveal anything about her past or who's she looking for on the road..One of my favorite actresses enters the film at this point Julliete Lewis. She adds life and humor to the movie, in a relatively small role, portraying Jill, who is David's cousin and who runs a diner in town. On his recommendation, she hires Angie as a waitress but warns him not to get too involved with a woman who is so mysterious. David pays little heed though and is ready to introduce her to his mother and perhaps even propose.Unfortunately, at this point the plot contrivances take off culminating in an ending that I thought was totally absurd and incredulous. When I'm saying out loud to the screen No! You're kidding me !--it's usually not a good sign.In summary, although the film has some intrigue and humor, the predominance of the contrivances and non-believable characters I thought heavily outweighed the positives.
