Billy Regis (Chris Mulkey), a serial philanderer with an epically foul mouth, is less than delighted to hear that his downriver girlfriend Patti Rocks (Karen Landry) is pregnant with his child. To complicate matters, Billy has neglected to inform Patti about his wife and kids in Minneapolis. A frantic Billy persuades his straitlaced best friend, Eddie Hassit (John Jenkins), to come with him on a debauched overnight road trip to find Patti, admit his sins and persuade her to have an abortion.

Audience Member Loved this movie! It's called Patti Rocks because she has 'the Stones' to tell Billy how it is. We meet Billy, the one night stand, of Patti and we see The adolescent, simple and base mentality of a boy-man who believes Patti is pining away for lack of him in her life. He and friend Eddie drive to see Patti and the hyjinx on the road trip are hysterical. Billie is the egocentric child and Eddie is the adult man who tries to talk some sense into Billy. When Patti meets Eddie --- something unexpected happens. Only three characters in this movie that is told over 2 days time. Very intense along with the hilarity. of note, there is alot of vile misogynistic spewing by Billie on the road trip. Don't worry though, Billy gets his, when he hits a skunk on the road and gets out to look at it and it sprays him down - then Eddie locks him out of the car until he takes all but his t-shirt and underwear off. It's Michigan in winter! LMAO. The Cover photo of Billy in his underwear with jacket is from that scene. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member According to Rita Kempley of the Washington Post all is a male conspiracy to keep women down. This movie was not a celebration of the principal male character but was a look at human relationships. Rita go back and get some of your daddy´s love that you missed out on. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
