WAY over the top...and excellent

Eli (Max Parrish) accidentally shoots unstable "Twinkle" (Sean Young) after she tries to force him to marry her (at gunpoint). He hides out in a trailer park and becomes involved with an abusive crazy stripper (Andrea Naschak), her sweet kind sister (Adrienne Shelly) and various crazy characters.

An unjustly forgotten black (VERY black) comedy. There's no holds barred but it never crosses the line to become too black. It's well-directed with some VERY strange characters, hysterically funny dialogue, plenty of nudity (even Parrish shows some skin) and all done with gusto by the entire cast. Parrish is tall, handsome and hunky as Eli--the one sane person in the movie. Young isn't in it much but she makes her scenes count. Naschak is OK (if a little too vicious) and Shelly manages to play it sweet and light without becoming too cloying. Also Diane Ladd (who must have been hired for one days work) has a few short scenes.

It's sick but funny as hell. Sample line: "I guess killing your sister, burying your dog and losing your virginity all in one day is a lot for a girl". It's a shame this was barely released and got no attention and STILL remains that way to this day 13 years later. It's hard to find (I had to order a VHS tape version off Amazon) but well worth the effort. Just great! I give this a 10.
