    *YAWN* Is it over yet

    I was flipping through the channels and came across this movie. After 10 minutes I was ready to fall asleep, and I had only been up for an hour. I found it choppy at times with the way the conversations flowed, as if, well it was scripted. I did not find the characters believable. I guess for a first movie its OK. But to me it looks like a movie someone would make using a hand held video camera and there friends, on a bored Sunday afternoon. There is no emotion in it, the characters bored me to tears. I barely made it through this movie and would not tell anyone they should watch it. OK well if your having a hard time falling asleep at night, watch this movie, it will put you to sleep in no time. This is my first review, so its probably not that great and choppy itself. But I just could not, not comment on this movie

    I didn't like it

    I have heard about this movie for ages from listening to Rick and Brad on the Katt, and I finally got to see it last night on Lifetime Movie Network. It really was pretty, the locations around Oklahoma City, but the movie was just so slow, it seemed like a three hour movie. Gary Busey and a few others were great but overall, I didn't like it. Maybe it was just a freshman writer/directors learning curve, and I hope he gets another shot at film making, but this one just didn't do it for me. I did like the Football scenes but the acting wasn't very good and the story was very predictable. I hate to give such a bad review, since I love Rick and Brad's show, but this is one to not watch!

    Sam and Janet: Bad as Art

    I have read many reviews on this movie and all commented how bad it was. It had so many flaws. In the narrative there were too many flaws for a movie in the twenty-first century. The characters were too campy to relate to. The repetitive references to Star Trek had no relationship with the story, nor did it help it what-so-ever. This became distracting. The sound emphasized the floor (OK, for a 1960's B movie, but not in 2002!). While Gary Busy is a great character actor his talent was kept behind a "bar" as a alcoholic reference with intellectualism and philosophy. However, there were two good points, and the reason why I felt hooked into watching a bad feature: the cinematography and editing. Even so, it was out of place with what made it bad. This may be the moral of the story.

    Dear God, no!

    An unexplained and poorly edited title sequence made me question my choice of watching this movie, but decided to stick it out long enough to fairly judge it. After a literally painful first 30 min., I wanted to turn it off, but couldn't. I thought that I had already invested days in watching it. The plot is unrealistic, the script is awful. I have no idea how it won any awards. I keep wondering if people saw the same movie I did. The two (and only) redeeming parts of the movie were the bartender and the chocolate lab, Brady. That's it. Save yourself an hour and a half and knit a scarf. Honestly, this one's not worth your time.

    Holy cow! What a moron!

    This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Apparently the guy who made it is some sort of hayseed dj in Oklahoma and promotes it through his radio show. Very predictable, very cheesy. I wish I could say it was manipulative, but that would require some degree of success in changing peoples' emotions. It almost pulls off being so bad it's funny, but in the end it's too bland for that. All I can say is WOW!
