The Pleasure Drivers

" Pleasure Drivers?" Pleasure Drivers is a gut wrenching, nauseating, Horror Movie and just not what I was looking for at all. Google told me this was a very sexy movie with Lacy Chabert in it which is only partly true and only in a twisted, kinky, slasher kind of way. "Pleasure Drivers would have been more appropriately named "Can't Get No"; "There is no"; or "Epic Pleasure Fail ".

Pleasure Drivers is without a doubt the darkest movie I have seen in a while and it most certainly has nothing whatsoever to do with pleasure. My stomach hurt for hours after watching this movie. The story predicts a happy ending but in my opinion this happy ending exists only in a weird imaginary conspiracy theory kind of way.

Is the acting well done? Yes, I suppose you could say the actors did exactly what they were supposed to do. It's the story line I have a problem with. The movie jumps about in fits and jerks and I am not sure if we are flashing back to another time in history or moving forward ahead in time.

Only in the last half hour does the movie become more predictable, more understandable and you realize the classic horror that is about to happen as it unfolds.

I'll level with you...this is a lame movie with mediocre acting & totally uninteresting characters. It starts out strong & shows some promise but, just give it another 10 minutes....your thumb will find the eject button. HOWEVER, there is one saving grace....her name is Lacey Chabert! Trust me, guys (and girls who like other girls), you should really rent this flick just to see the delicious Lacey in rare form! This adorable morsel (who was age 23 at the time of filming in 2005), absolutely has one of THE Best figures I've ever seen!! Unfortunately, we don't get to see all of her (which is seriously weak for an unrated film!) but, our girl does juuuust fine. Skip to chapters 9 & 10, and see if you agree. ;)

I was going to review this movie, but after reading Masticator76's masterpiece I really have nothing to add. I'm giving it one more star than he did, just because the movie is so gosh-darned edgy.

It's still a frustrating experience, even with the edginess. There are a great many scenes that nearly work, but nothing ever coheres into an actual movie with a believable plot. There are only a couple of characters written to have more than one dimension, and they immediately make you wish they would just shut up and let the cardboard characters take over.

Go read Masticator76. His review contains SPOILERS but trust me, you really don't care that much.

I had to post this because I've been reading all of these really bad reviews and I just can't relate to any of them. I think most of the people writing the reviews have missed something fundamental which is (I think) Pleasure Drivers is much more of an art film than your standard b-movie thriller. Lots of people have posted that the movie's too slow -- that's what I love about it. I think its strangeness makes it really unique and you get sucked in, in ways you don't understand and have to see it again. I think it's really too bad that this movie is being judged by what it isn't (a slick, stupid, fast paced thriller) instead of what it is, which for me was this really austere investigation of morals and motivation, or I don't even know, but it feels like it's doing a lot more than like say Kill Bill. I'm sure if it get released in Europe (if it hasn't already) it'll do much better. Why do we have to relate to the people in it? I had so much fun just watching all these trashy people get more and more messed up. The one thing I didn't like was the whole "lesbian" hit woman. That was really underdeveloped, but whatever,it's like this ultra cheap movie and they probably ran out of money or something. I don't know about you but when I see a movie that's this different it makes me feel alive and excited. Hopefully these people will get more money for their next project.

Complex and convoluted, Pleasure Drivers, with its esteemed cast, carries you on a dark, yet comedic journey through different story lines. Despite her bad language and bad scrunchies, it is Lauren Holly's performance,(her best to date) with a raw,edgy, and intense portrayal, that immediately captivated me and kept me cheering her on, all the way to the end. I did not realize she was such an amazing actress. Lacey Chabert delivers an unexpected sexy portrayal. It is one of the better indie films I have seen recently. I really enjoyed the look of the picture,although it did move a little slow at times. Does anyone know if this movie was released in the movie theaters?
