More great stuff from Morgan J. Freeman. As a person who watched this film for the first time at SXSW '99 my excitment was high. I had seen Huricane Streets and was prepared for anything. This film is not only funny, but also deeply moving. If you are the type of guy that screams independant, this film is for you. I was on the edge of my seat. Please trust me, It's well worth your time and dollars!

When was the last time you watched a movie and could not predict the next scene? That is exactly why you should buy this movie! I am an Indie filmmmaker and know the process well. If you ever wanted to watch a movie and find out what happens this is for you! Christinna Ricci is awsome as usually. So is all the others in the film. How many movies have you seen where 10 minutes into it you know the ending? To many to name for me. That is why I am not going to refer what happens in the movie, I just say if you want to see a new movie, not told told another way, please see this movie and you WILL add it to your collection. I was so glad to be able to watch something original and this meets all expectations. One to have that you can watch and share with others!

This movie was not as good as i thought. I think the story is solid but could have more to it. The cast is excellent and each of the characters have their own personalities and goals in life, which add to the way the story turns out. The acting is great - i just think more of a story would have made a more entertaining movie. But overall a good movie I would watch again!!

The characterization in this movie is great. Each character is unique, odd, and acted superbly. Combine that with the isolation of the movie and I am reminded of The Breakfeast Club (only newer and fresher). Despite a fairly weak to nonexistent plot I still found myself enjoying the movie. The ending was also very predictable but so enjoyable and anticipated that you want to see it anyway.

i have never in my life seen a better casting call. kate hudson was great- her transition from b!tch to human was believable. and then the rest of the cast, which was the biggest treat for me- casey affleck, christina ricci, sara gilbert, brendan sexton III, and ethan suplee... ALL IN THE SAME MOVIE... if you get as excited over a casting call as i do, you already expect the movie to be unbelievable before you've even watched it. i predicted the ending, but even so, the ride was still fun. i am especially impressed with ethan's performance- its about time he was given a good role like this one!

this movie was really good and it suprised me. if you liked dancer, texas pop. 81, you'll most likely enjoy this one too. this movie has become one of my favorites and i think that if you gave it a try, you would like it as much as i did.

I saw this film recently with about thirty other people. Everyone loved it. Lots of actors and actresses that are famous now can be seen here in their early years. An absolutly pheanomenol film.

this is a really good movie I thought. its about this small town in the desert, Kate Hudson(Almost Famous) and her father John Heard(C.H.U.D.) come to the town for a visit. in the town there is Brendan Sexton III(Boys Dont Cry) who plays Blue, Christina Ricci(Pumpkin) who plays a pipebomb addict and her boyfriend Casey Affleck(Oceans Eleven2001), Sara Gilbert(Rosanne) and her boyfriend Peter Sarsgard(The Salton Sea) and Ethan Suplee(Mallrats). Hudson and Sexton start to have a connection, the town is seiged off by cops because a truck spilled and they dont know if its radioactive or deadly and the 2 start to fall in love and Hudson bonds with his friends who think shes too pretty and shes an actress who some of the people in town saw her on a show. Michael Ironside(Starship Troopers) appears as well as the one of the cops who seige the place up. its filled with comedy, drama, romance and haunting secrets. one of 1999's best

I have been searching for this movie for so long and finally found it. I was very pleased with how easy it was to find and order. Very happy with Amazon I will be back!

I bought this movie because I'm a huge fan of Christina Ricci and three of the songs on the soundtrack are by my favorite band ever (Rilo Kiley). the movie itself is a little weird and at times, kind of boring but if you give it a chance, I'm sure you'll love it.
