Fast Sofa

This is a very strange movie. Lets get that down first. It is similar in that regard to recent films like Doom Generation and Freeway 2: Confessions of a Trick Baby. It is violent, can be repulsive and disgusting, and is not for everybody. But if you like this type of film, this is a great film. By all means I recomend it highly, especially if you want to see more of Jennifer Tilly than you have before. Definately an unusal but fun (if you are into this type of film) ride.

One problem is, you look at the cast and expect gold, I'm here to say DON'T. Enjoy it for what it is and you're going to have a good time.

Fast Sofa is a strange watch. It's a movie that will leave some very cold towards it. A crazy cast delivers some very watchable moments and it's got very nuanced, strange performances from both Crispin Glover and an over the top Jake Busey. I recommend this on some conditions...

The problem with this movie, it lacks direction. Even in a buddy road movie about two people with NO direction you need to have a somewhat coherent plot. This movie misses on that, no matter, it keeps you watching with cheap shock value, strange exchanges and funny moments. The film seems to be schitzo, but again that doesn't necessarily make it a bad film. The director could have reigned in the camera trickery as it plays out like a bad art student film at times but I found it tolerable. Interesting credits.

While this film is hard to watch for some people as it tends to meander, Jake Busey and Crispin Glover make this is a must for fans of strange trashy late night films.

I really at times wonder why Busey hasn't done more, he's got great timing and strange charisma. Ah well, put this one on your late night viewing list, keep your expectations low and enjoy. 7/10

So you're couchin' out one night at the ol' crib, semi-inebriated and seekin' some kick-ass passive entertainment of the televised variety and ya notice this film on your tv listings cable crawl, and so you check it out because it says Jake Busey, Crispin Glover, Jennifer Tilly and Eric Roberts are in it. How bad can THAT be, right?

Two hours later you're cross-eyed and tentatively aroused but more than that, thoroughly confused with what you've just witnessed. What stands out most in your mind is the kinked-out-to-the-nines bondage scenes, of course, with Eric Roberts sticking his gun in Jake Busey's mouth while Tilly (as his wife, a strangely UN-sexy porn star) straddles him and Roberts warns him menacingly not to - ahem - enjoy it, shall we say - or he'll blow his brains out. Fun stuff, boys and girls. And then we have Crispin as a traumatized bird freak who accidentally killed a hawk when he was a child and he's still a virgin with an excellent vocabulary who invites himself along on Busey's deranged road trip to hell. It doesn't end too happily and it doesn't make much sense getting there, but, hey, the closing credits are dangerously creative, and Busey is still alive at the conclusion (at least I THINK he was), so all's well that ends well.

I admit the first 30 - 40 minutes wasn't that great but it somewhat kept my interest. I'm not a big fan of Jake Busey but I thought he was OK in this at times. Crispin Glover stole the show, he always plays the odd character so well. All the other actors were tolerable but Glover was definitely the only one that shined. Jennifer Tilly was totally annoying. This is definitely not a movie for everyone, it's definitely an acquired taste. I found out about this movie about 6 or 7 months ago, I wonder if it ever got released on DVD in major stores. I purchased the DVD online and it took me awhile to find it. This movie I definitely wouldn't rate it a 9 or 10 but it's worth checking out especially if you're a Crispin Glover fan.

This movie was pretty bad. The only reason I rented it is because of Eric Roberts. He is in it only maybe 7 minutes at the most. It's a great cast but all the talent is wasted on this crummy film. This is a terror for long term fans of any of these actors. It's a bust! I mean a real bust! Fast cars, fast women and fast food! What the hell is this movie about anyways? Even the beautiful Jennifer Tilly could not save it! Rent The Fast and the Furious if you want a quality movie! Out of 4 stars i give this a big fat 1/2 star! That bad folks! Love ya Eric Roberts but dam choose another film buddy!
