When this movie first appeared in the theaters, I thought from the trailer that this was a bomb. It did bomb at the box office, but when I checked out the IMDB ratings for the home video release, I was surprised to see a 7+ rating! Boy, I must have misjudged this one, so I rented it based on this - and am I sorry I did. My intuition was right on the money - this movie STINKS! It really has no plot and what there is of a story is ambling, dull, and full of Hollywood cliches. It's funny in about 3 fleeting spots - that's it. I don't know how this got the rating it did (the work of a Billy-bob Thornton fan club?), but I'm writing to warn those like myself who rely on these ratings for choosing movies that you will be very disappointed in this one - despite the glowing rating. 2/10.
