| She's a foul-mouthed tramp who can wrap just
about anyone around her finger. She steals dead people's ashes and
sleeps with gay hunks and religious fanatics with equal
indifference. She's Dedee Truitt (Christina Ricci) and she's not
your typical sweet 16-year-old.
Escaping her rotten Louisiana life, Dedee flees to the suburban Indiana home of her gay half-brother Bill (Martin Donovan) where she proceeds to seduce his live-in boyfriend Matt (Ivan Sergei) steal $10,000 and lead a cast of devious characters on a frenetic cross0country chase to L.A. Bill is joined in hot pursuit by an embittered spinster (Lisa Kudrow) a love-torn local sheriff (Lyle Lovitt) and Matt's jilted ex-lover (Johnny Galecki). |
Loved this film, funny, hateful, hurtful,
offensive, loads of words to describe it. None of which does it
credit.
The thing is an offensive diatribe against what human beings are and confirmation of what we can do and become. None of it makes sense, all of it could happen, bitchiness and nastiness abounds throughout this film. The characters are so real that you want to kill some of them, and take great satisfaction when some of them die. A very entertaining and watchable film, enjoy it. |
