      Nick Schager Slant Magazine The film's scenario unavoidably devolves into a treatise that, though timely, feels a tad too on the nose. Rated: 2.5/4 May 3, 2009 Full Review Brandon Judell CultureCatch If your offspring has a fetish for hole-digging, look no further. For the final hour or so of this venture, your loved ones will be able to giggle and coo as a Vegas couple with addiction problems shovels up its backyard in search of a million dollars. Rated: 6/10 Apr 28, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

      EZ R wow this movie is rivetting but what happened at the end Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Love it. It actually was filmed in Pahrump. With some shots of Vegas strip. Thought provoking, human nature, great acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I have to admit, I was grateful for the job. Very creative story about a family loosing... loosing... trying to love... watch it! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The film is not exciting enough, funny, a scavenger hunt, repetitive, and it came to nothing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Buried deep in this film is the nugget of a possibly brilliant, unwritten Raymond Carver story. Unfortunately, this is not a Raymond Carver story, and none of the people involved were Raymond Carver. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
