Impressive film

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2008)

I have never been a fan of Meg Ryan or Val Kilmer but I have to say their performances in this movie blew me away. When this movie first came out I refused to go watch it for those two reasons alone. I thought the film would be laughable. Well,I do love the Doors and when I found the movie for 99 cents at a thrift store and needed some entertainment for the weekend,I purchased it. Amazed and impressed,I watched it three times! Val Kilmer was incredible,rough and sexy,not the usual arrogant ,pretty boy he plays in so many films. Meg Ryan was beautiful and sensitive. I was surprised to see Kyle McLachlin(strong,sensible but SO cool-he looked like John Sebastin,Loving Spoonful!),Paul Williams,Crispin Glover and Kathleen Quinlan(you must see her-simply amazing!) who all played excellent roles. Val Kilmer would have been my last choice for this role,just by the characters he played in other films,but whoever chose him is a genius because after seeing the film,he was the perfect choice for the role. This movie was quite impressive and is now one of my favorites. I think I will go watch it again now!
