      Audience Member I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I need to find a copy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I think this is a neat little movie suffering from a gigantic case of a distributor not knowing how the hell to market it. But then again, how do you sell a film whose plot is loosely based on the Velvet Underground song "The Gift," in which a boy mails himself to his girlfriend, and she accidentally kills him when opening the package? I saw the movie at a film festival under its original title, "There's No Fish Food in Heaven," which, odd as it may seem, makes more sense than "Life in the Fast Lane." I'm a fan of just about everyone in the cast, and I have a pretty high tolerance for weirdness - that's probably why I think this film is cool and not just confusing. YMMV. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Well to start off the cover of the dvd has Patrick Dempsey with his arm around Fairuza Balk. Which totally makes no sense because his whole character is one that doesn't speak, and doesn't smile. Other than that odd fact, this movie was decent. It wasn't that great, but again I did enjoy Fairuza's performance. She has this great acting ability, and I always wonder why she never really made that key film that would put her on the map. The movie plot was a little weak, but for the most part the acting was pretty good. Tea Leoni is always good, and Noah Taylor had a solid performance. Overall I wouldn't recommend this movie to many people. If you like a dark comedy maybe, but otherwise probably not. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member kind of strange, but really cool!
