The first hour of this movie


Is great. The last 30 minutes it becomes a typical slasher movie. If they'd had a few more action scenes before the naked truck stop prank, I would have been satisfied with the movie ending there with Rusty talking about the brothers now knowing what it felt like to be the butt of the joke.

i thought the first half was good, and it deflated as soon as soon as the girl came in. i felt like her character didn't add anything, other than a reason as to why he was driving cross country.






i've got feelings too, ya know - inbetweeners

I agree with you. Part of my problem was that I can't really watch ANYTHING with Leelee Sobieski. She cannot act and her presence really did detract from the second half of the film. I heard she had given up acting. Good.

No doubt the last half hour is cliche and devoid of any suspense, but it's still well done and entertaining. Besides, I think the movie delivers enough thrills (and some great tension).


Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
