How did this film EVER make it to theaters. Sophomoric, self-indulgent, and simply silly do not begin to describe it. A ten year old must have written the script. Well the ten year old had then another ten year old to do the filming and editing. Some nice scenes of Portland and surrounding areas; lots of head shots of people driving (Hmm must have watched Wallender on PBS) – well those are the best parts of the film, but WHERE is the obligatory shot of Mt Hood? . We get to the point 40 minutes into the film after what presumably passes for character development and relationship building. WOW –a scruffy underachiever continues to underachieve. He meets another underachiever who – WOW, this guy, gets turned on by a Sherlock Holmes book and.... The "twists and turns" of the plot from there on defy belief – so many co-incidences. But, then in the world of the ten year old, these happen. Every single patron in the theater would have demanded their money back if that were possible. This film must have been made by 8th graders for a class project–actually, that is kinder than the film deserves. As an audience we were laughing and comparing and commiserating with each other for staying to the ...well I guess end?
