Avis à la une
never heard of this movie until i rent it on a local video place..not much a fan of heather graham,after seeing her performance in this movie,i wanted to see more and more of her...she stood up for what is right for her life and many actress now are not as good in performance in any movies..i love the scene between graham and sis-to ("jesus")and the movie carry a good message..no matter what the critics or the back of the box says...the pairs do work!!.the diner scene remind me of another great movie "crash"..graham is very sexy even as girl with problems in many of her dramatic scene..i love it and recommend it for a midnight snack or see it with friends..
Obviously some viewers have a personal vendetta about this film. It wont be for everyone but it definitely can be appreciated. Its better than 90% of the garbage we watch today. For those that said this movie has no point, or its boring and has no topic would be wrong. You should try just watching a film with an open mind rather than hating on it from the opening credits. This movie is what you make it and its not supposed to be black & white answers. If you had a brain you would understand this film very easily. Most of the characters are just simply symbols for something greater. Whether they exist or not is irrelevant because after all this is why we sit down in front of the TV in the first place, to watch something that isn't real! I think some people tend to forget that.
My brother and I watched the first 15 minutes of this movie and both decided it was boring and we were getting nothing out of the movie, yet we decided to give it a while longer to see if it got any better. 20 more minutes went by and still - nothing too interesting. The only relatively interesting scene was when Hope and her boyfriend hook up. Then about 5 minutes later she makes out with a girl on who's experiencing her first trip on ecstasy for about 5 more minutes. Then you basically find out after reading the reviews on here that the movie is not what you expected it to be. The back of the DVD package makes it sound like Hope is supposed to go crazy and have hallucinations and things of that nature, but it's really about drugs. She's battling an addiction of her boyfriend and her boyfriend's battling his own addiction with drugs. Overall, it's the biggest waste of time ever.
I love watching Heather Graham in movies. Having said that, this movie was difficult to watch to the end. I have a hard time watching non-linear movies. Jumping back and forth into past, present, and future scenes is not only confusing but makes me lose interest. I shouldn't have to work this hard just to enjoy watching a movie. The drug use and self destruction is depressing. One of the main characters was a cigarette. It was always front and center. Sometimes I thought I was watching a cigarette ad instead of a movie. (Product placement, anyone?) With the drug addiction also comes violence towards women especially if she tries to escape. Anyone who has been in an abusive, controlling relationship will have PTSD again for sure. Halfway through, I had to get up and go do something random just to stomach the rest of the movie. Aside from the sudden contrived Hollywood ending, I felt like I had been trapped in a crack house for 90 minutes. Why Heather bothered with this script is beyond me. This may be reality for many people in the LA drug scene, but I watch movies for entertainment. Are you not entertained? I was not.
Drug addiction is a real downer anyway, so when you have a bad movie with a drug addiction theme, things couldn't be much worse. Throw in some really lame characters as diner customers, and things do indeed get worse. Everyone in this film is either a pompous ass, or a down and out loser. Not exactly a formula for entertainment. In addition, the movie jumps around with annoying flashbacks. When Jeremy Sisto finally pulls a gun on his ex., Heather Graham, I was hoping something would happen to move things forward. Unfortunately, it does not, with relief only coming when the screen finally goes dark, and the credits roll. Oh boy! Is this bad! - MERK
