A must for any bad-movie fanatic!!! (Possible "spoilers" ahead...like ANYTHING in this movie could come as a surprise).
Ashley Judd plays a woman who gets busted for "murdering" her husband in a setup so hilariously inept that it couldn't fool a seven-year-old...
She gets sent to the nicest, cleanest maximum-security jail in America where she gets to work out her triceps and work in the prison hair salon. She serves her term and gets out 6 years later, looking not a day older than when she went into jail (must be all those spa treatments and healthy jail food). She tracks down her husband across two or three cities---it's so dull I can't remember the details---and tangles with her parole officer, Tommy Lee Jones who plays the part like he's been zombified and is only thinking about the check he must be getting for playing exactly the same role he's played in ten or twelve other movies.
This is a movie so lame that it stoops to a tussle over a handgun as its climax...is this the sort of writing the movie industry rewards with tons of money and big stars? The American public buys into it so it must be working.
I guess it's not so funny after all.
