Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

SnoopyStyle Will Carson (Josh Cooke) is a convict who escapes after a car crash. He finds April Rogers (Jaime King) stuffing Martin Cheeder (Daniel Roebuck) into her car trunk. Will assumed Martin to be her husband but he turns out to be blackmailing her and is still alive. That soon changes when Martin drowns himself accidentally. Things keep getting more complicated when April's husband Karl Rogers (Silas Weir Mitchell) goes home and mistakenly assumes that April is having an affair with Martin. Of course, Karl is actually cheating on April with Nola (Missi Pyle) who turns out to be April's sister. The complications do not stop as the cops try to figure exactly what's going on.The movie needs to calm down the wacky comedy music. This could have been a good black comedy but the music keeps stepping on it. If I want to enjoy the wild black comedy, I don't want to be have a flashing sign pointing at it. Jaime King is a pretty good comedic actress and Josh Cooke isn't that bad. They are good together for the most part. I'm just not that impressed with Jim Kouf's writing or directing. He's trying too hard and not quite getting the comedy right. It's a wacky bumbling crime drama with a few moments of fun comedy.

carbuff This started out pretty mediocre but just kept getting better as it progressed.Initially it seemed to me like the female lead was doing a Michelle Pfeiffer routine, while the male lead was doing a Ben Stiller one, and that was a bit grating, but as it went along they came into their own, and I wound up liking both of them much, much more than I like either Pfeiffer or Stiller. (I feel kind of bad hoping that neither of these two actors ever get a really big break, so that they don't get super- spoiled and transparently egotistical like most major Hollywood actors, tainting their future performances, because I liked them so much here.) I would encourage you stick with this movie and let it develop, because it really just keeps getting better as is it builds steam with the odd turns in the plot. Some suspension of disbelief is required, of course, but it's not too unreasonable at all for a movie. This comedy really just simply succeeds with very winning main characters in a convoluted plot with a lot of "intelligent" laughs. I don't want to sound like an old geezer whining about the good old days (I'm not even that old), but a basically wholesome movie like this (at least for the times we live in) with such likable performances from essentially unknown actors without the distractions of a bunch of mindless special effects is just the kind of treat I'm always looking for and have such a hard time finding--personally I would take a movie like this over a typical Hollywood blockbuster every single night of the week. The really sad thing is that you could probably make 20 of these for the same cost as one single Michael Bay flick. What is wrong with our world?

zif ofoz as another reviewer stated "why have i never heard of this movie?". i'll tell you why - it's just a waste of a truly fantastic story. i was so disappointed with this film i cannot express my feelings. i jumped at this flic because the other reviewers expressed such delight. so i had to see it.the only thing that saves this movie (with me) is the many twist and turns and surprises in the plot. but the acting, script, direction, and pacing of the film are just awful. really! in one scene it's pouring rain and in the very next scene everything is dusty bone dry - no!!! that doesn't work.and the actors are just pitiful. it's obvious the two principle actors were chosen because they are very pretty and have tight bodies for that ludicrous opening scene in the house. the script is ho-hum, and actors delivery weak and lame.but the plot has so many twist and unexpected turns (not all of them, some are predictable - like the explosion) that you watch and become interested.

ricelaker This movie moved well and I thought it was very funny. I found myself laughing out loud and I was watching the movie by myself. In the IMDb credits the characters Carl and April are listed with a last name of Rogers but in the movie they refer to Carl's last name as Dumas. Not a bad movie to watch as I could watch any movie with Jamie King. I love the scenery in that part of Montana- gateway to north part of Yellowstone. Great title for the movie. The movie is easy to watch and moves on quite nicely. If you are looking for a movie where you can sit back and laugh and wonder how they are going to handle one predicament after another this movie is for you.
