Fun film! I taped it for some reason when it was on TV about 15 years ago, and I still have the tape somewhere. Watched it again and still liked it, though it was better the first time.

OK first time you see it, then quickly forgettable.

Good flick, kept us guessing. I knew she was - Road Warrior 20:16:49 05/24/07 (0)
Spoiler:

getting scammed but it was done very subtly (sp??). Fine performance by Montegna. As for Crouse, all I can say, a great, well written part, played average.

Do I have to spell it out?

  Seems like you say this about most movies. Why don't you just put a gun to the DVD player and save yourself the grief.
  
  I loved it....one of my regular recommendations to others looking for something offbeat.
- Did you .... - afilado 20:36:23 05/24/07 (4)
  ...watch it all the way through?
  - Probably not. It really got to me. - Duilawyer 18:09:32 05/25/07 (3)
    Especailly her, she is so phlegmatic.
    - You've griped about a few "worst" ever movies and few other "worst" in the last ten years or last decade movie - sjb 22:25:31 05/25/07 (0)
      Not to mention a few "Worst" actors and a couple a "worst actresses.
      
      Not that anyone at AA would think you are prone to hyperbole.

      .. Mamet showing through her. Although, she's well-suited for that role, I think.
      
      Does the fact that you only watch part of a movie before rendering opinion mean that we'll get proportionately more reviews from you? There's probably a need you can fill with that. I'm in. LOL.
      - I am not sure if I watched it though but it was so terrible - Duilawyer 07:07:36 05/27/07 (0)

Good movie. Although, I watched it again recently and it looked pretty dated..... however it's still quite an interesting flick.
