smithereens be the kind of worthless flick which just hang out among the cable channel take up space like a cheesy dime novel in the public library . a worthless bit of tripe and first effort for mediocre director seidelman and the film be fraught with bad act and bad sound and bad camera work and and poor quality in all aspect of the film . many good film never make it to market and why junk flick like this one do and never seem to go away be one of life great mystery .
