Please don't spend money on this.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Its full of clichés and full of parody but the plot is not predictable... which makes this a passable, meandering, not-quite-sure-what-next film. There's some amusement here, but not enough.The two turn-offs: 1. Jolie and her allure are a big part of the movie... but she is mismatched with Aiello. A much older guy or gal is fine, so long as they still match in attractiveness. Aiello isn't handsome enough for there to be any plausibility with Jolie. The promiscuous kissing, particularly between those two, gets a yuk from me.2. The shootout scene where nobody can hit anybody and the garage guy doesn't have to take cover... is too extreme a parody in the context of the film. Taken to that extent of silliness in a movie like "Airplane", it might work. In this one it just knocked me out of the film... with mutterings or ridiculous... destroyed any suspension of disbelief... and had me deciding whether to find another DVD. I did persist - and had just about forgotten it by the end - but without that scene, the movie might climb a whole star.

Angelina Jolie completists may feel compelled to sample this minor item from her early portfolio, and it certainly beats Cyborg 2, but if it had starred anybody else it would be of little interest to audiences even just a month after it came out. Danny Aiello plays a fiftyish bachelor who, despite being a little thin on top and a little thick in the middle, is confident of his ability to attract young women. Jolie catches his eye in a coffee shop and calls him over, essentially to put his boasts to the test by having him charm her in front of his friends. The resulting awkwardness is more excruciating than funny and this is part of the problem with this movie: the funny bits mostly are not, and so then what are you left with? Jolie, as she was in many of her early roles, is quirky and winsome here, and Aiello has enough screen presence to anchor the movie, but the script gives them little to do that's genuinely interesting. The film is quite well shot with nice cityscapes around Los Angeles and gorgeous desert scenery once the pair gets on the road, but ultimately there is little here that entertains beyond the charm of the principals. I rather liked this movie, but ten minutes after it was over, I would have been hard pressed to provide specific details on what happened. Driving. There is a LOT of driving. And Jolie takes a shower in a way that is clearly intended to tease Aiello and keep him on the hook. But hey, we know she can be sexy; she became a superstar based on that talent fer cryin' out loud. Ultimately, it's neither a plot nor a character driven film. It's a mood piece and the mood is sweet, but tame and forgettable. It's okay, but approach with caution.

it came along a Greek newspaper (as a gift) and obviously the selection wasn't random! the newspaper must have bought the dvds for free! there is no plot, the acting is dreadful (i think most of the time the actors were acting on their own in order to fill the 80' minutes because there was no script). i kept watching it just to see if it can get any worse! overall super low budget no-script romantic(?) drama (?) movie, only the writer and the director can explain what they tried to make...anyway, the story was about an old unmarried guy wandering around the town and looking hungry for women. then he saw the young angelina jolie and became even more hungry. then he saw angelina's old mother and compromised with the mother (who was living in a caravan and had an insane boyfriend and she was searching for some guy to replace the insane boyfriend, so she picked the unmarried old hungry for women wanderer who's saliva was dribbling for her daughter). that's it. he replaced the insane boyfriend and moved to the caravan. the end...

I tried watching this. I really did. But there just wasn't enough plot to hold it together, and the things that happened were just ridiculous in the extreme (two thugs robbing a gas station in the middle of nowhere?). The women are oversexed, the guys are stupid, and the minor characters (Boyd, for instance) keep changing their personalities like in a soap opera. It's also riddled with typical Hollywood jabs at rural/Southern life. There are no characters you can root for -- everyone is using everyone else. Dark, unfunny, disposable flick.
