Quotes:

Al: [first lines - narration] Ever get so bored with your life, you're afraid your gonna do something stupid? And then you get afraid you're so far gone you can't even think up something stupid to do any more? Well last year when my wife and I split up, I decided to leave New York, thought I'd go to Seattle. Then I remembered, Seattle has even more serial killers than Long Island. Add that to the big coffee house scene, and you got a town filled with psychopaths - who are always awake.
Al: Six months in LA, and I'm thinkin' maybe coming here was stupid. Then a thing happened, and I found out, sometimes stupid is good.

Soundtrack:

Stay For Awhile

It was OK.

I think the film was o.k. and I liked the soundtrack but the film was a little cheesy and sometimes didn't make a whole lot of sense. I have seen the movie 4 times and it does continue to make me smile because of the wonderfully beautiful and talented actress Angelina Jolie, the only reason I watched the movie. It's about this older guy who moves to L.A. and meets this young beautiful girl. He drives her home to the Mojave desert, falls asleep with her mother, and wakes up to find a dead guy in his trunk. There wasn't enough emotion in the movie, like the girl (Ellie) never really cared that it was her boyfriend in the trunk, and her mother didn't care that it was her own boyfriend that put him there. Anyway if you like Angelina Jolie it's definitely worth a look..
