The Worst Film Ever
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
This movie is excellent. Tracy Gold, and Bess Armstrong, and the rest of the cast do an excellent job acting. It was also well made by the cast and crew.This is the heartbreaking, but also coming to terms with each other family drama. Alex, is a heroin addict, who, until an accident in which she was hit by a car, has been estranged from her family. But after it happens she goes home with her family, but is unaware of her past. However, her past slowly catches up with her and the people from are not finished yet. She runs into a jam when she has to pay of a drug dealer who takes her family hostage.In the end Alex is given probation in exchange for testifying against the others. She makes amends with her family. It is definitely a film worth seeing.
I just come across this movie on TV one morning and without realising it I got hooked. Not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, but a movie that holds your attention all the way through. I thought Tracey Gold was very good and believable in the lead role. It has been a long time since I saw a movie with Bess Armstrong in it and it was good to see her again.
