So bad, it's good
27 January 2008
This movie is SO bad, it's good. It's like a train wreck -- you know it's awful but you just can't look away. However, I cringe when I see people here call this thing "the classic American love story." Since these two lovebirds, Bud and Cissy, spend most of the movie arguing and fighting with each other and Bud also being physically violent with Cissy and other people, what does this "classic American love story" really have to say about American love relationships? Not much that is good! Apparently, in Texas all disputes must come to blows. I cannot image these two characters living happily ever after. The next fight is probably always just around the corner for these two. Oh, and the soundtrack...what a piece of redneck Americana. Yeeehaaww!
