this one could have been great, if it were given to a talented writer. don't get me wrong, i love lower budget movies; some of the all-time greats are by roger coreman, but the only reason i made it through was the fact that i am a die hard meat loaf fan. he really is an underrated actor, and he does a pretty good job executing in this one, as he does in his other roles, but the writing was just so bad. the story line is decent, the moral is good and i like the ending because it's not traditional for this type of message. i just think that the dialogue killed the movie for most of the viewers. hopefully someday we'll be blessed with a movie where meat is given a leading role so more people will see his abilities other than us super fans who memorize his albums.
