In hindsight, I don't know what I expected when I rented this, but I suppose I should have known better. The film is "vulgar," plain and simple, though you could also call it "disgusting," "disturbing," "stomach-churning," or even "unwatchable."
I guess I tried to watch it because I love "Clerks" (1994) and since the Askew-crew was involved I expected a certain level of quality. Well, the dialogue is Kevin Smith-esque but the events which occur in this film are horrible. It's a comedy for the first 10 minutes, then it seems more like a drama, and then it's "Deliverance" except there's no one to root for.
And let me take time to mention that this is BAD acting. When it feels like people are reading lines of a page, that's BAD. When the characters are as one-dimensional as the script they're printed on, that's BAD. When every single character in the film (right down to the waitress in the "posh" diner) is COMPLETELY unrealistic, that's BAD. Brian O'Halloran tries his hardest (A for effort, by the way) but this isn't gym class.
Please don't see this movie, not even as a rental. The only reason there aren't OVERWHEMINGLY negative reviews for this flick is because most people choose to ignore it. How I wish I done the same.
