| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A made for tv type movie that somehow made it to DVD |
| From the title, one might anticipate a movie based on a '70's basketball team with something to prove, but by the end of this film you'll wish it was something like that. It's really hard to give this movie a bad rating cause it's apparent the intentions were good, but alas... The story revolves around 15 people -many of which just don't matter to the story- who get hung up on a dirt road after the front car is rear ended setting off a live electric wire. While waiting for the authorities to arrive, the respective groups of people -each with dirty laundry and problems aplenty- undergo revelations and bond with eachother out of empathy, obligation, and sheer boredom. The main issue with this movie is that the plot -aside from a few dramatic components- is quite dry and gives the viewer the feeling that he or she is actually stuck in this mess with nothing to do but watch people bicker. The actors -which were all new to me- had no chemistry to speak of, but they certainly tried to fake like they did, being overly obsequious or extremely rude before warming up to the others by the movie's end. Best way to sum this film up is to say that it's like one of those "Coexist" bumper stickers. That's not to say that the ending is all sunshine, or good for that matter. I certainly didn't feel enlightened by this one cause quite frankly it was too cheesey, but if you're looking for an adult movie with family-movie like acting and characters, then this one is right up your alley, and you are welcome to it. | |
