this be a terrible waste of money and time . there be only one likable character ( derek girlfriend joyce ) . everyone else be either evil or juvenile . i be want all of these people and except one and to fall over dead and end this horrible film . brittany murphy overact beyond description and be completely irritate . holly hunter tough and world wise character be repulsive . she look awful and tire throughout . kathy bates cash the paycheck she receive and run . she look like she hat this film as much a i do . hollywood show by this movie how much contempt they have for the moviegoer . they put out this garbage and know at least some will fall for it ( shame on me ) . to sum up . read a book and call a friend and do anything but see this movie .
