You know this movie had a great potential, could have been a major film for all the characters involved. But somewhere along it fails major. Doesn't really make you 'feel' for any character, they all seem like cardboard characters. Should have breathed life into them. Instead it just manages to take you 'around' aimlessly. It fails to surprise you, the bad guys remain bad, the good are good, the neutral are neutral nothing changes or happens. Whatever was supposed to happen happens. So what's the point of watching it? Some useless diversions which make no sense, probably a very personal film, fails at all levels. There is the classic whore with a heart of gold, the drifter, the two friends, but the chemistry is missing. The electricity just went out. They are all on high, so no lows!

OK, so it ain't precisely Oscar or golden globe material, but I have to admit this movie was really fun to watch (even though it is supposed to be drama you can get a really good laugh out of it) specially at the beginning. if you don't like dirty humor and don't tolerate watching the lead of the movie do drugs and have a nice time, then you shouldn't watch this. What I didn't like much about this movie was the part with alligator boy, it kind of disappointed me, even though it had a nice closure, still I don't know, they could've worked it better. At the end, I DO recommend this movie to everyone who's stoned, likes nirvana, likes road trips, or is just bored of classic movies where everybody lives happily ever after, =)

i don't know what everyone's complaining about, a funny movie with pretty people...works for me. but i think i know a bit...lots of people who watched this have seen two movies they think are great;it won't give you spiritual awakenings like donnie darko, it's not as dramatic as requeim for a dream.thankfully. somebody's even complaining about 'happy ending'...pfft.i give it a seven just to promote a rare modern movie that doesn't make me puke with music video cuts and dramatic substance for once.plus i can't recollect seeing a movie that would (even slightly) use the times of grunge as it's background.

I also watched this at like 2 AM. It's one of those movies with good looking guy's who have an excitement to them that keeps you watching, I actually thought the dialog was very original. It also has a generally satisfying ending which is the most important part in my opinion. The movie sort of toyed with sexuality issues in a bizzare way, going right up to the line and pulling back. One problem is I missed the beginning of this movie! Being that I'm gay I thought the two guys were as one character says, "in love". I've seen some movies where two closet cases dance around their feeling for eachother before... or is that my life? Anyway, no doubt this movie seemed to almost hint at bisexuality. Just never comes right out and says it.Mysterious movie, but if you are not uptight and can enjoy a good story then it's well worth you're time.
