unfunny and pathetic attempt at a coen style film., 22 May 2003
Author: ron (lilgorgor@hotmail.com) from United States

this movie is as if someone mashed together blood simple, fargo, and country music, with none of the style or substance provided by the coen brothers. terrible script, terrible acting, ridiculous plot... bad all around. the music is bad, the lipsyncing is horrible. the second girl who ends up "singing" the main characters songs looks like shes having a siezure during the scene when she wows us with her amazing voice. sweet lord i hated this movie.
