    one good movie.

    The film was pretty good. It is nowhere near the potential the Adam Rifkin shows in his later works for instance Detroit rock city. Which was one of my favorite movies of all time. But this is One of Rifkin's first movies and he didn't really have much time to grow as a director or writer yet so all in all it was a funny and good film.

    Great, funny movie

    I am suprised not alot of people have seen this, it is a great movie. Peter Bergs earliest role, he is great in it, and it is a great funny movie. Some great moments that really stick in your memory. I saw this a few years ago. One of my favorite parts are the delusion parts.

    Exceptionally good film.

    Great cast - Claudia Christian at her sexiest, Peter Berg at his dumbest and Andrew Lauer at his most endearing. A handful of surprise guest stars add to the fun. The desert location is fine and the soundtrack cleverly intertwined with the action. A must see..

    One of the worst movies I've had to sit through

    I came across this movie seeing that Nicolas Cage has made a cameo, I decided to watch it since it was on netflix. This movie is one of the most boring "movies" I have ever watched. The characters are all goofy and unrealistic including the police and tow truck drivers. And it isn't in a good goofy kind of way but just pathetic and bothersome to watch. The storyline is predictable, the characters are dull, bad acting, bad writing, and everything along with it. The low budget makes this even worse. Keep away from this movie unless you want to come for the cameo appearances (Nicolas Cage & Charlie Sheen). Generously give it a 2/10 because of the cameos.

    a movie made the way more should be

    unpretentious and unassuming, you may easily miss seeing this movie for one that is. but don't. stick around for a bit and be drawn in to this movie. it ebbs and flows into an unusual panorama that makes a story good. it is like your favorite short story, basically a small chapter in a book of life; what happens before or after is inconsequential. this movie is one i remember years after i saw it, perhaps so shall you.
