whacked-out, intriguing and hilarious, 6 December 2000
10/10
Author: redent from San Francisco, CA

If you are a Brando fan, you'll love this film. He appears to be improvising throughout the film and takes everyone along for an hilarious ride. Sheen and Church deftly underplay their roles of the town dunces (although an argument could be made that the entire town is full of dunces). Good performances all around but the real treat is Brando. He fills the screen, literally and figuratively, with his presence.
