“She’s On Her Deal, Y’Know?”
WAKING UP IN RENO (3 outta 5 stars) Dubbed by the filmmakers as “a redneck ‘Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice'”, this is an enjoyable little movie… very funny at times but also treating its characters as real people with real emotions. Billy Bob Thornton is Lonnie Earl, a used car salesman married to Darlene (Natasha Richardson) but who has had a recent fling with her best friend Candy (Charlize Theron). Candy’s husband Roy (Patrick Swayze) is desperately trying to get his wife pregnant but suspects his sperm may not be working. While on a vacation in Reno to renew their wedding vows, the foursome’s relationship comes to a head when Roy’s non-existent sperm count is confirmed the same day as his wife’s pregnancy and everyone notices Lonnie Earl’s shifty eyes upon hearing the news. While amusing and likable, the movie isn’t quite as good as it could have been… and it often seems to be setting up future situations (like a suddenly-ignored attraction between Roy and Darlene) that never come to fruition. (I was expecting much hilarity from a scene of Lonnie Earl’s attempt at eating a 72 ounce steak in one hour… but the scene winds up being mostly uneventful.) The actors do a great job though… particularly Thornton, whose skill at blurting out totally insensitive and inappropriate lines is unsurpassed, i.e. “She’s on her deal, y’know?” And I will take any excuse to see the lovely Mrs. Liam Neeson (Natasha Richardson) on screen!
Grown up ‘American Pie’
I found this film on satellite one night, hadn’t heard of it so sat down to watch – and spent the next 90 mins laughing!! Great lines delivered deadpan by a great cast, never thought I’d hear such witty banter (definitely very crude at times!!) said by such a cast. I especially enjoyed the lines from Patrick Swayze, I haven’t seen him in anything in years since the ‘Roadhouse’ days and he made me laugh bigtime, do more comedy Mr.Swayze!!Not a brain teaser or Oscar winner by any means, but definitely worth a watch if you want some laughter.
My rating – 8/10.
