Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

Somewhere on the fringe of society, ten dangerous strangers are on a road to Red's Desert Oasis Diner. Packing more fire power than the LA police force, two hitmen, two hoods, two outlaws, and a mixed bag of other quirky characters hilariously converge for the showdown of a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unpublicised Pulp Fiction, January 24, 2003

This review is from: American Strays (DVD)

I read the reviews on [this site] and was surprised they were mixed. "American Strays" is only for offbeat viewers who have experienced the wierd side of life along with David Lynch and Robert Rodriguez. Don't take it serious but as an everyday dry humor flick. The bungling frustration of Eric Roberts and pseudo naievity of Jennifer Tilly make this a GREAT film for those who take life very lightly. I liked it enough to make the purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Memorably funny movie, February 27, 2004

I thought this movie was hilarious. I love the guy w/ the dolls: "Hey girls, brought you a new little sister. She's a little different, let's try to get along." Of course, offbeat dark humor is my thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars In the same class as Pulp Fiction...great., November 14, 2001

This review is from: American Strays (DVD)

This is a really terrific movie.It's somewhat of a sleeper having never really gained the respect it deserves.It is a multi layered ultimately 'Good News' story with subtle humour and great acting performances.I think for sure someone should have been nominated for academy award for this 'underground cult classic'. It sure beats the likes of Jerry Maguire and American Beauty. I enjoyed this movie more than any other.My tastes run to LA Confidential..Pulp Fiction...Red Rock West..Cat Ballou..Clint Eastwood... Cameron Diaz...so if you enjoy any of those... you'll love American Strays.
