1 out of 5 stars America-THUD   January 21, 2001
Christopher J. Jarmick (Seattle, Wa. USA)
0 out of 5 found this review helpful

Here's a great idea for a comedy that assembled a capable cast but lacked enough inspired ideas to make it work. Some scenes like Meatloaf battling a car sound funnier than they are. The film does begin promisingly. A wonderful Beach Boy song, a funny montage, and the humorous premise is laid out by our narrator, George Carlin.

Then it gets tired and labored.

Waste your time with a rental perhaps, but few will want to sit through this more than once.

4 out of 5 stars A second Look   March 18, 2008
U-Turn (USA)
With the recent Wall Street meltdown and increasing bailout from foreign investors, I think this movie deserves a second look. It's predictions from twenty years ago are becoming eerily accurate. I'm still laughing, just a little more nervously.


5 out of 5 stars OMG, I can't believe this movie exists!   September 30, 2008
G. Llama (Bakersfield, CA)
With this whole economic crisis on Wall Street and the Feds trying to bail us out, I told my husband this evening, "What if there was a telethon so we could raise money for America and we could save our own country, could that help?" He responded by saying, "You know, there's an actual movie about that with John Ritter and San Diego gets sold to Mexico." Here I thought I was coming up with an original idea and clever idea someone beat me to it. I am on a mission to find/buy this movie and watch it. the premise sounds hysterical. I will add to the review when I do. But seriously, I think as an American, if there was an "Americathon," I could not ignore the crisis and would try to help with as much as my pocketbook would allow. I'm not rich my any means but $500-$700 would be feasible and I would hope more of my fellow Americans would do the same to take us out of this mess that Greedy Corporate America has gotten us into. Go OBAMA!
