the second worst film i have ever seen.......2003-09-30

I have to agree with the review by Colleen Shneider: This movie is not worth your time. I can explain a little more about why this is so.

First of all, this was billed as a comedy and yet I found little comedy in it. I do not recall laughing even once. The basic plot of the film is, to begin with, rather slim and predictable. The dialog is bad. The acting is bad and unbelievable. I say this even about the better actors that appeared in the film. At various times it looks like it is trying to be bizarre and catch our attention through unexpected scenarios. Yet, these seem entirely forced and ultimately contribute nothing to an ongoing narrative. Moreover, the subplots in the film are not resolved.

I waited to see if the ending would somehow tie the whole thing together. It did not. It left us hanging as to what the point of any of this was.

The only film I have seen that I would rate lower than this one was called something like "The Little Devil" which starred the later Walter Matthau. Made in Italy in the 80s it was worse than this one only in that it did not even succeed in creating a cohesive narrative.

Definitely, do not waste your time.

In looking over the video shelves my husband and I chanced upon this video and thought it looked interesting. It started off with that REALLY low budget kind of filming, followed by really horrible dialog. Still thinking it was kind of cheesy but sort of interesting we continued to watch as Palmer and his buddy Pearl drive cross country taking a crate (that they have been told not to open) to Florida. This movie is bad on so many levels I wouldn't know where to begin. Let's just say, it is not worth your time. Take the 110 minutes and read a book or watch a good movie. It isn't even good as a cheesy, goofy road trip movie. It's just plain bad....that's why you've never heard anything about it and why there are no reviews on the box. Pass this one up....Walk on by and keep going. Trust me.
