Shouldn't These People Be On 'The Jerry Springer Show?"
13 July 2006
Boy, Juliette Lewis really played a bunch of sleazy characters in the 1990s. She's an actress that has kind of disappeared the last 10 years. She hasn't been in anything memorable since "From Dusk Til Dawn." Earlier she played ditsy roles in "Natural Born Killers," "Romeo Is Bleeding" and who knows what else.

Anyway, she and Brad Pitt play trailer trash types here. Pitt, despite the pretty boy image, is good at playing that role (see "Snatch") so the two of them are very believable in this film.

Those two accompany two naive Liberals on a cross-country trip and troubles quickly ensue. None of the four people are likable in this movie and the language is extremely rough in spots. But for a one-time viewing, this is definitely worth checking out and will have you involved enough to stay with these low-life people. Then again, you can save money, stay home and watch these type of people on Jerry Springer or Maury Povich.
