Well, this movie can. It's like a bunch random events one after another (the script was probably thrown together on a beer drinking/weed smoking afternoon). I couldn't tell you what the story is about, even if you'd point a gun at my head. There is no point watching this, because it gives you a serious headache, or, what's worse, tons of restless hours wondering what was this all about. However, there are things I realized after the ending:Nevada desert is full of strange, possibly mentally handicapped peopleYou should never try to find a black mailbox unless you are a taciturn, annoying Pizza guy wearing jeans and red T shirt Twisted goth chicks will make love to you only when you're wearing a ridiculous UFO mask Never try hitchhiking if you can't make a distinction between black and white Famous businessmen try to vitalize themselves by drilling their foreheadTo cut a long story short, "Lift" is a bad, meaningless, irritating experience. Consider yourself to be warned, avoid this disaster at all costs! I told you...

Once again Block Buster's previously viewed section got me. This time with Lift, I thought Ufo's and Alien's might be cool, right?Wrong, the film is about a young pizza delivery driver. He is obsessed with Ufo's and Alien's. Like a not so cool Fox Molder from the X-Files. The movie seemed long and drawn out but had a few cool spots along the way. Only one scene makes it worth watching. The first sex scene had me almost spitting beer at the T.V. from across the room. The main character's coked out abducty screw buddy ask's him to put on an alien mask while they do the nasty..... Ya, you heard me right! If you like the funny then rent this movie watch it to that point and take it back.

I picked this up in my local library. Thank God I didn't pay to rent it. It's a shame I can't get my time back. I kept hoping the story would develop and take an interesting turn. No such luck. The topic has the potential. The cast probably could have done better if they had been given something, anything to work with. I'm left wondering if this film got made because somebody lost a bet. Maybe if I was drunk or stoned it wouldn't have mattered that there is nothing of value here. Perhaps most telling, if you do a search on IMDb, you'll be hard pressed to find out anything about the cast. I guess they're all too embarrassed about being in this bomb. Spend your time more productively by say, watching paint dry.

During the week after Christmas, 1999, Larry quits his job in California as a pizza delivery-boy because he wants to be near Rachel, Nevada, on New Year's Day, which is where and when he believes that aliens will save people gathered, before the aliens destroy existing humanity. Larry's trip is the basis for this movie, during which we are introduced to several interesting characters who he meets along the way. And Larry, himself, is quietly interesting, in part because he's so easily influenced. I ask myself, "Is this meant to be nothing more than entertaining? And/or, should I look for a deeper meaning here?" I can usually guess at a "cheapie's" deeper meaning, to salvage my rating of it. But less frequently do I find such films entertaining. Guess what, though? It's refreshing to say that - absent any conspicuous features which emphasize a small budget - this quirky film ranks above-average on my entertainment scale. I'm not gonna look any deeper.
