Scrappy comedy with quirks; not bad, though undernourished..., 3 August 2008
6/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Supermarket cashier in a tiny town outside of Las Vegas believes a U.F.O. is coming soon to take on passengers, and that her role is to spread the word about an intergalactic Noah's Ark. Writer-director John Binder has a very nice feel for desert border towns littered with gas stations and fast food stops but, by taking on so much responsibility behind the camera, his movie comes up short (he obviously could've used some help). Playing this breathless, starry-eyed working gal, Cindy Williams is very appealing; despite some artificial affectations (probably picked up from television), Williams knows how to play for laughs yet also seem sincere about it. She also has a beautiful moment while riding in the car with drifter/boyfriend Fred Ward, excellent as usual. The last reel is squashed and incoherent, but until then this is a pleasantly eccentric outing with no mean agenda other than to provide some quirky fun. **1/2 from ****
