Rarely do you watch a movie with so many recognizable names that is this bad and by bad I mean every facet of this movie is bad. Tinny, grating, soundtrack, confusing plot (I'm being generous to call it a plot)ad-hoc script and ridiculously unbelievable characters. How Emilio Estevez who strolls through for a couple of scenes, Harry Dean Stanton who is only on camera for one scene and Dennis Leary ever became involved in this debacle is truly mind-boggling.
In the case of Dennis Leary's character it's almost like they wedged his role in at the last minute for name recognition, as his role has nothing to do with the plot. His screen time is spent just delivering Dennis Leary stand-up type monologue. Pretty much all of his scenes sound ad-lib. Ditto with Jon Lovitz and Julie Delpy. Adding to the misery is an out of place acoustic number with Kari Wuhrer and Michael Vartan on guitar. We won't even get into the uncomfortably creepy relationship between Wuhrer and Norman Reedus who plays her surfer dude brother. How many siblings kiss each other on the mouth? It was like they were originally going to have the characters they play be former lovers then decided to go another direction without editing the film. The list of missteps goes on and on.
My only regret is that I have to give this film one star as IMDb won't let me give it zero. A real stinker.
