As usual the write-up on the box is far better than the actual content, but that should come as no surprise, I suppose. I didn't realize this was an American film, thought it was out of Hong Kong or something but no, the locale is southern CA. This is an odd little movie, about several different characters that cross paths here & there, some much MUCH closer than others, but overall it was a little on the bland side and just not weird enough, for me, anyway. There's a woman Katherine, that has blackouts, and in one of those moments she loses her cell phone, wallet, & pager, which are found by Trinh, a wild and crazy waitress with a blond wig and sunglasses she never removes. She then proceeds to stalk Katherine, returning her wallet but keeping her driver's license. Then there's Phil, who has this accelerated hair-growth problem that leads him to believe he's a werewolf, especially after hanging out with his sister's boyfriend who just happened to write a book on lycanthropy. Anyway, this tootles along just fine, one odd little incident after another, until confrontations occur and secrets are revealed. I was impressed that I did not figure out one of them beforehand. Anyway, this is a mostly OK quirky little film, but only that, nothing too spectacular.
