Tollbooth

I only watched this for one reason, and she played a witch in the "Craft." In this movie, she plays an innocent piece of trailer park trash waiting for her absent father to come home after a ten year absence. Now that's a long wait ! Her boyfriend is played by Lenny Van Dohlen, one of those actors you always recognize, but don't know the name. There's side-plots on the disposal of dead bodies and what the toll booths are really there for, but the movie moves along so well, that it really doesn't matter. This film is definently a worth-see.

Tollbooth worker near Miami tracks down his girlfriend's long-lost father, only to get into a fight with the guy and have the whole situation blow up in his face. "Tollbooth" is peculiar, certainly, but also nostalgic--an interesting mix. What with its lazy-hazy ambiance and eclectic cast, the film seems determinedly non-commercial (which can be both pro and con). Lenny Von Dohlan is terrific in the lead, plus it's always good to see Fairuza Balk and Louise Fletcher. Like most films about dead-end lives, however, this one doesn't have any particular place to go. There are pleasurable moments along the way, thanks to writer-director Salomé Breziner's canny touches and offbeat style. The definition of a movie sleeper. **1/2 from ****

A fractured fairytale. I liked it better and better I've seen it three times and it's pretty amazing. Great cast great performances

I've seen this movie more than once. It draws me in with its beguilingly casual erotic overtones and the charming sadness of the three small-town Floridian characters' deepening predicament. (I'm also fascinated with Florida and all of its faces, and this one was a new one for me.) Fairuza Balk is hot, and Will Patton is way cool. That other guy does a nice job as well. See it, and don't expect Gone With The Wind, just relax and enjoy.

Haven't seen this in a while but I like it. Maybe because I'm a cab driver in Florida Keys. You'll recognize scenes on Card Sound rd
