The film's scenario unavoidably devolves into a treatise that, though timely, feels a tad too on the nose. Go to Full Review Brandon Judell CultureCatch 04/28/2009

EZ R 04/13/2024 wow this movie is rivetting but what happened at the end See more 11/26/2019 Love it. It actually was filmed in Pahrump. With some shots of Vegas strip. Thought provoking, human nature, great acting. See more 07/06/2011 I have to admit, I was grateful for the job. Very creative story about a family loosing... loosing... trying to love... watch it! See more 06/05/2010 The film is not exciting enough, funny, a scavenger hunt, repetitive, and it came to nothing. See more 02/08/2009 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. See more Read all reviews
