Well that was fun...

Rating: 5/10 (24 December 2008)

I had heard about this movie for years but never saw it until recently and boy was I disappointed. I had to fast forward all the time past the continued repetition of the mothers plight with pills. Could have been a better movie as the lead characters are somewhat interesting but alas it falls flat and tries to make up for it with a vomit inducing ending that just gets sillier and sillier. This was made in 2000 not 1950 so they don't give electroshock therapy to old ladies with no history of mental illness and don't force feed them by hand. This movie has all the typical heroin junkie clichés it can fit in, but there are much better movies about the subject out there. Another thing is the complete over use of every wild camera trick (all of which have been done prior) the director learned in film school. A very forgettable film.
