Zyzzyx Road (2006)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Boring

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I rented this movie knowing nothing about it. I guess I should have gone with my gut instinct and skipped it.The movie is about a married accountant (Grillo) and his girlfriend (Heigl) who are discovered fooling around by her psychopathic boyfriend (Sizemore). The accountant kills him with a vibrator (!), and they take him out in the desert to bury him. The name of the movie, for no apparent reason, comes from the road they take into the desert. Once they get to the desert, Sizemore's body seems to have disappeared from the trunk of Grillo's car.The pacing and directing were absolutely awful. I would say the acting was terrible, but I can't blame the actors for having so little to work with. In fact, the only reason I gave this a 2 was for Heigl's game efforts to do something with this mess. The plot, what there was of one, was stupid. Worse yet, it went off in a completely different direction midway through. Plot holes? Why yes, there were plenty of them. They were so frequent and so big, it was hard to follow the story. If it had been campier and had something resembling a plot, it might have made a decent B movie, but it doesn't even rise that far.I was particularly amused at the makeup. Heigl's makeup varies from scene to scene, and the blood effects are hilarious. Grillo goes through most of the film with a cut on his head from his fracas with Sizemore. It is obvious that the cut is drawn on with a sharpie and smeared with grape jelly. What's more, it looks the same throughout the entire movie. Sizemore has a bruise on his forehead from being bonked with the vibrator that keeps moving around.John Penney, who wrote and directed this travesty, should never be allowed to make another movie. Heigl and Sizemore need to fire their agents. Even if you're a B movie fan, you should give this one a pass. It's 90 minutes of your life that you can't get back.

I saw this primarily because boxofficemojo. com gave this movie the worst productioncost-to-visitor ratio, EVER! That's primarily because they didn't distribute it.And showed it only in one theatre world wide But still. Officially, 30 people saw the theatrical release.But since then, it has been downloaded many more times.So .... I will give this an A for Effort.It was kinda hard to sit through.The story was hard to follow.But Heigl was Okay.I liked Madsen as well.

This film is awesome especially for those that like hanging on the edge of their seat! I was so surprised at the ending. I spoke with some friends who also watched it today and we all seem to pick up different things and have a different take on it. I plan to watch it again tonight on my computer while it's still streaming for free. It's definitely one of those movies that you have to watch more than once. I know each time I watch it I'm going to pick up something that I missed. I'm glad I ordered the DVD, which remarkably was only $5.After I watch it one more time, I'm going to come back and post a message where others who have seen it can give their opinions on what was going on. IF any of the filmmakers are on this board and care to give us some hints, that would be helpful! :o) Or perhaps they chose for us to draw our own conclusions.

This film is great. It's fun to watch Heigl in a different role from normal. She's a great actress. Check it out - worth the time! Grillo and Sizemore are also great, Sizemore is an awesome villain. The storyline is very different - lots of twists and keeps you on your toes. Overall, it's a fun and exciting thriller/mystery. Zyzzyx Road is the actual name of a road in Las Vegas. The film has a funny history -- grossing $30 at the box office! That makes it the lowest grossing film of all time, but there's a lot more to it than that. It's an interesting story, look it up on Google some time. I think that its also in the trivia on this page. For the record, it is pronounced "Zizzix"
