Dirt Merchant (1999)

Sadly Over-hyped

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I was up late one night, and was flipping through the channels to find something on. Well, as I was doing so, I caught a glimpse of David Faustino. I was shocked to see Bud Bundy in a movie! So I decided to watch to see what this was. Well, even though it had Anthony Michael Hall, Danny Masterson, and one of the DeLuise brothers in it, this movie was terrible. This is one of those movies that make you wonder how they tricked the cast into being in it, shoot, this is one of those movies that make you wonder how they got funded! Try to avoid this movie, it makes you ponder why you were suckered out of 85 precious minutes of your life and not have a parting gift or anything for compensation. Well, It DOES have Jenna Jameson in it, and she does show her chest in it, but I'm sure she has better movies that you can see them and more... LOL! Don't say you weren't warned!

Oh man, this s-u-c-k-e-d sucked.... I couldn't even get any camp value out of this......and I sat through the whole thing on Showtime.... Don't bother waiting around for the 'naked' scenes either.....it's too late and only plastic Jenna Jameson is involved.. Shows how much discretionary cash must be laying around Hollywood just to get your name on the closing credits.. I guess Showtime had to throw something in at 1am... Next time I think I'd even rather be watching ESPN loop around every 30 minutes...

Excellent writing and wild cast. The tech is poor but it's obviously very low budget. Looks like they didn't cut the negative but had to release on a video output. In any case one of the most inventive comedies I've seen lately. The screenwriter in particular is fine.

This was a very well scripted movie. Great fun if you just want a stupid film. Not great production value (ok, the sound really sucked) but the performance of Danny Masterson more than makes up for it.Watch this movie and laugh out loud!
