I hate reviewing movies like this one! I

I hate reviewing movies like this one! I call them "rainy day movies". They occupy your time for a couple hours, there's nothing inherently wrong with them, but there's not a single thing you'll remember about them weeks or days or even hours later. Bacon is reliably charismatic and watching the late Renfro, who died of a heroin overdose at 25, one can't help but wonder what kind of career he might have had ahead of him. Other than that, it's all a bit blah. Calista Flockhart and Luke Wilson appear in woefully underwritten roles. There's a nice red Cadillac that will appeal to the car lovers in the audience. 60s music lovers will appreciate the soundtrack. Other than that, I'm at a loss for words. So I guess I'll just keep this review short, and save my big words and witty barbs for the movies that I really love or really despise. Apathy is the pits!
