FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

cblizard Ack! Ack!! I think I coughed up a hairball at the moment I realized the scriptwriter really was trying to pen a love story and not simply another violent comedy piece. there was a heavy whiff of "Natural Born Killers" of course, but it really almost copied "Pulp Fiction" exactly. both "Love..." and "Pulp Fiction" were done in 1994, according to a quick Google. "Love..." seems to be a caricature of Pulp Fiction, especially regarding the soundtrack, which was good but could not even hope to salvage a particularly horrific script. I'm hoping someone can tell us what movie(s) might have spawned this particular genre of comedy-thriller that seems to require a battery of guns, violence, sex, cool-drug music and surf music, drugs and way-too-cool lines. Please drop in a Comment. Thx.

thunderway The only reason to watch this is to complete a study of Renee Zellewegger's work.It's a B movie. Don't read the reviews and then think you will see anything near the value of Tarantino or Stone even at their worst. I cannot understand how this movie could even be compared to True Romance, for instance. TR is amazing--brilliantly written and packed with excellent performances by too many good actors to list. This one has Renee in a forgettable part. That's it. Gil Bellow is mis-cast entirely. The acting is mostly sub-par, caricature. Cinematography 101. Even Renee delivers a so-so performance, but she's never unwatchable, which again is my reason for seeing it. There just isn't much entertainment value at all. Unless you know someone on the production, or maybe for study purposes, you should definitely pass on this one.

Dan I stumbled onto this movie in a fit of insomnia. It entertained me largely because it's so outrageously unapologetic about its goofiness. The plot moves at about 500 miles an hour, but that's not a problem, because there are no twists, just constant action and movement and happenings.The violence is downright grotesque a few times, and I knock the movie down a notch for that. At bottom, it's such a good-hearted story that the sudden and extreme violence is jarring. But it's also cartoonish violence and hard to take seriously. And if I recall correctly, all of the people getting greased had it coming.Beyond that, the most significant remark I can offer is that I could have sworn...I mean, I was utterly sure...that the leads were Brendan Fraser and Christina Applegate. It took me a while to realize that it was Gil Hodges. I still could swear that it was Applegate instead of Zellweger. Oh well, whoever she was...she was looking pretty good in this movie.

Joe-385 Pretty good movie that has been pretty unfairly treated over the years. It has some flaws, but in general it stands out owing to outstanding performances and ingenious direction. It's been called a copy of "Natural Born Killers", but that comparison is both unfair and inaccurate. Unfair because the movie was completed *before* Natural Born Killers was released, and inaccurate because the characters are fundamentally different. Natural Born Killers was about two people who were by nature violent and evil, whereas this movie is about two who are by nature *not* violent.Check out the movie yourself, and rather than listen to accusations that it's a rip-off of movies that actually came after it, give it a shot as what it is -- a better-than average entry in a long-standing film genre, the outlaw couple on the run. And where it's due the director gives nods to his influences. Note one item that struck me as an inside joke -- the addition of Peter Fonda, the star of one movie that truly *is* a predecessor of this one: Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry (1974).
