This was a really good movie. Considering it is a Canadian indie film, and not a big studio commercial production, it is well done. The story is interesting, characters are funny, and they drive cool cars. The photography looked really good, and there were some shots (like the fireworks on the sunset, and the opening credits) that are very well done. The only problem I have with the actors is Ms. Berkley, who doesn't do a very good job convincing me she's a drug queen...all I can think of is Saved by the Bell. Denise Richards looks great as always, and her acting is much more convincing than some of her other flix. The soundtrack is alright, and the subtle humor made me smile. If you like smaller budget films, this is a great one to check out. One of the best movies I've seen this year.
Tail Lights Fade" presents itself as Canada's answer to the "Cannonball" films. With a little better pacing it could have been one. Unfortunately it is simply too slowly paced. After watching for awhile with nothing happening but talk, one tends to get bored. Many of the actors seemed bored as well. The only person who really shows some life is a very tattoo covered Elizabeth Berkley. She actually seems to be enjoying herself.
The film is not without merit however. There are enough interesting scenes to justify watching. The ending segment is particularly well presented. I'd say watch it but don't expect the moon.

It would normally be scary to approach the director to sign your movie and them say, "You actually own it?" But suffice to say, yes I do... and more so I am proud to own it. I hate Breckin Meyer with a passion. He's not that great of an actor when he's a lead (look at Road Trip and Rat Race for examples) so when I saw
he was the lead in this movie I was scared. But I bought it anyway. And to tell you the truth its hilarious! It's written/directed by "Drawing Flies"' Malcolm Ingram. Matt Gissing co-wrote it. I liked "Drawing Flies" alot but not as much as I enjoy Tail Lights Fade. Tail Lights Fade had the dialogue of a Kevin Smith
movie (go figure, Malcolm is good friends with Kevin himself) but had its own original twist on it. The story at teams seemed kind of weak but that didn't stop it by being so damn entertaining. I reccomend this movie to anyone who enjoys
fun road trip type movies. Breckin is the lead but he ain't so bad in this one. That really suprised me. I will own the next Malcolm Ingram movie, you can bet on
that!

This Movie has a really great story and shows that a movie doesn't have to cost 600 million dollars to make. Just because a movie is low budget doesn't mean that it wont draw you in and make you care about what happens to the characters.
I had been curious to see the "OTHER" films released under the View Askew banner.. this film while not under that banner was still directed by a friend of the View Askew crew, and.. included one little cameo (uncredited).
I will DISAGREE with the other poster.. I thought EVERYONE was exceptionally strong in their roles, aside from "Angie" and "Eve", c'mon face it .. "Showgirls" was a T&A movie, Berkley while cute can't act. The movie deals with Angie (sadly) who's brother gets busted for possession. So his sister decides to burn his stash, her boyfriend (Meyer) invites himself who in turn invites the other 2 yokels (Busey, Richards) and they turn it into a road rally as they are all racing nuts. There is some good dialogue, and Meyer gives his all in a rather thankless part.. as much as Richard (she's funny as hell as the white trash girlfriend) and Busey.. well he can't be his son, clone maybe.. All in all, its a funny movie.. and it has a rather downer kind of ending.. But, it is still very much worth the rental. Better than some other films out there, alot better than many. It won't knock your socks off, and.. you probably won't really remember much of it next week.. But it is a decent 90 minutes of viewing.. ONE note, the DVD BLOWS! There are, sadly, ZERO extra features and not even a trailer for the film.. But still, a decent enough movie at least worthy of one watch.

- QuizIn an interview for website IGN, writer/director Malcolm Ingram described the experience as being very unpleasant to handle. "But it wasn't in the cards. The Producer was insane, The Production company was lame, I was too green to deal with such insanity as the schedule being cut down by 12 days two weeks before we went to camera. On that film our Producer actually made offers to two separate actresses (Lisa Marie and Elizabeth Berkeley) at the same time. They both accepted and my poor screenwriter had to tear chunks of the script out and create a role to accommodate both actors. They were both great, and I wasn't complaining to have two incredible ladies in my film... but that is an example of the level of professionalism I was dealing with. I also remember we had a bare bones crew doing pick up shots for free to try and make up for the days we lost. God bless 'em. We were shooting a highly illegal scene involving fake cop cars and high speeds. No one really wanted to be there, But... It had to be done. The Producer (the one who f***ed us for days and left us in this highly precarious situation) didn't even stick around to show support, saying, "I'll say a prayer for you guys" as she bolted away from the travesty she was responsible for. The real shame is that I think that the actors really gave the goods... and the crew worked their hearts out. In the end... it wasn't what I had envisioned. However I'm still proud of the actors... and forever grateful to the crew... Wish I could have given 'em something to be a little prouder."
