What in the actual F-?

Ok, what jokester funded this and allowed it to see the light of day? I purposely watched it based on the crap reviews, and boy, did it deliver! This has to be one of the most convoluted, incomprehensible movies ever created. I can't begin to cover all the flaws, but I have to mention the stupid nightgown. The blonde pulls out a Tide white "century old" nightgown from a trunk and puts it on. She then proceeds to literally roll around in dirt, dig a grave, and smash PB&J all over herself, all while keeping it pristine. That's just one tiny example of the insufferably lazy writing. And the reason I call her the Blonde is because I don't even know her real name! The only word etched in my brain is "Babe," and I shall forever hate it from this point forward. If I'd taken a shot for every "Babe," I might have enjoyed this bizarre community theater reject a little more. Two stars for the absolute effort it had to take to make such a confusing mess and for the production value which wasn't half bad considering the awful writing and acting it had to work with. And two stars for giving me hope that, I too, could one day write a ridiculous screenplay and get it made!
