    Pretty entertaining, caught this one on TV one day. It actually didn't catch hold of my attention until the end which was ridiculous but great at the same time.

    A mildly entertaining film about a guy who loses everything, a job and a beautiful girl, in just one day.

    Brings nothing new to the genre and in the end it just delivers twists after twists that it drowns in its own ingenuity.

    The acting is pretty average but Steve Zahn is alw...( read more)ays annoyingly funny to look at.

    If you're waiting for another 'Falling Down' prepare to be disappointed. This is more like 'Wild Things' without the hot lesbian chicks...

    This movie would have been rubbish if not for Steve Zahn, who did a lot to save it from itself. It was fairly staright forward and enjoyable for most of the way, but then it started taking a turn for the worse near the end, then another, and then another. It was trying like hell ...( read more)to be Wild Things near the end, which put me off. This was so promising. I wish they hadn't fired the screenwriter before the end. Or made it seem that way.

    Fantastic ending. Couldn't have gone better in my mind. :)

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Matt Dillon just gets better and better with age. And I do believe that Christina Applegate will escape the child-star syndrome. Never look at her the same way again, I'm telling you.

    Paul Dooley plays fathers -- all kinds of fat

    Wow, what a great modern example of dark comedy movies. Plus it's one of the few movies that I didn't predict the ending whilst watching it the first time. Great stuff.
