the big problem for this film be that it do not know what it want to be . it start off a an absurd comedy but try to turn into a powerful depressing drama by the end . without a cleverly write script and it be set up for failure . the acting be mostly poor . dominique swain do a respectable job . which make it more of a tragedy that she be actually in a film this bad . busy phillips be the other actress who can impress in a few scene . everyone else be forgettable to say the least . except for thora birch and whose motive for star here i can not begin to understand . the directing be ok and it wasn not as bad a the script or the actor . the montage scene be well do . they almost trick you into forget that they be from a bad film . in the end it still an overproduced waste of film .
