I don't really know why I'm commenting on this thing, but maybe because it's not Nurse Betty is a good enough reason. Someone recommended it to me. I should have read some of the comments before renting. If my comment stops one person from renting this film I consider it a job well done.
Seeing too many plants closed for good has taken its toll on me. Watching Renee waltz into the beleaguered food processing plant wearing stiletto heels, cocktail dress, no smock, and no hair net (to the very END this bothered me) takes the story far beyond any sort of reality. The Cinderella story is even stinkier. When a company pulls the plug there's no tapioca dream ending for an old factory, only burnt toast. And making fun of the Minnesotans died of repetition at Lake Wobegon 20 years ago.
Sound quality is terrible. Up to full volume to try and understand the patois, then down to minimum when the music roars in, then back up, etc. At least 20 cycles of this over the film's 90 minute duration. If this film had had subtitles I would have muted it and saved the wear and tear on my controller.
It was not worth a dollar at redbox and it goes back promptly tomorrow AM.
