Not so great

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 1999)

At a glance, this looked like it would be a pretty good film. Then I started watching it. Totally forgettable characters (except Myers), along with an unoriginal and tedious plot, combine to form a movie that tries to be Boogie Nights, but fails. There are a few brief bright moments in the film (like a drug-addicted grandmother cutting it loose), but these hardly redeem the movie's shortcomings. If you want a film that represents the seventies in a more captivating fashion, then rent Boogie Nights.
