Only love could get you through this plot

This a comedy that is not funny and a caper that is not interesting. The 83 minutes felt like twice that. The pitch for this picture is almost unimaginable--lets make a movie about a real estate deal and tell it through the the voice of an actress who is unwatchable. We'll waste the talents of great actors like Rip Torn and Jeff Bridges, and kill off a clutch of C- actors along the way. Bridges is a low-rent, charming bar owner who just wants his estranged wife, Kim Basinger to sign the divorce papers so he can refinance his bar. There is no chemistry between Basinger and Bridges, and the Hollywood version of funny southerners is as stale and terrible as ever. Just a rung or two up from the Dukes of Hazard. The hokey accents and music are unintentionally funny. The positive reviews are absolutely baffling.
