Title: drive-in drivel
Product review: The buddy-pairing of Judge Reinhold and Willem Dafoe is a curious one. Reinhold somehow built a career on Billy from Beverly Hills Cop and a guest spot as the "close talker" on Seinfeld, while Dafoe earned well-deserved fame from films such as Last Temptation of Christ and Platoon, though his best work may actually be 2002's Auto Focus. You could say that pairing them together is movie magic, but you would be wrong.In fact, the movie is a complete bomb. Lead female Kaaren Lee can't act her way out of a wet paper bag, there's no real laughs nor any credible drama, and no one is helped by the piss-poor direction from first-timer John Mark Robinson. This movie blows chunks of chicken-fried steak. If you really want a so-bad-it's-almost-not-so-bad flick about losers driving cars, check outSpeed Lovers.Rating:One star for being shot on location (Arizona's Route 66), the other for Willem actually singing on stage. That's a very generous 2-star rating, folks.
