3 Stars

Starring: Jared Leto, Jake Gyllenhaal, Selma Blair, Danny Comden, Sean Dalgarn, David J. Guppy, Kimberley Kates, John C. McGinley, Jeremy Piven

Director: James Cox

Synopsis: In 1994, two 19-year-olds (Jared Leto and Jake Gyllenhaal) with a couple of hoods hot on their tail flee Las Vegas and head to Seattle. Along the way, they pick up an abused prostitute (Selma Blair) and soon find themselves amidst thousands of grieving fans at a vigil following the death of grunge band Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain. It's a road picture unlike any other you'll see.



My synopsis: Jared Leto screws an important person's wife while she makes him say "jack and jilly go up the hilly." Then the husband strolls on in...gets angry...sends the "Miranda Pandas" after him to break his feet...Jared Leto and Jake Gyllenhaal decide to escape from the Pandas and go to Seattle. On the way they meet Selma Blair, an escort that stole a bunch of shoes. Jared Leto falls in love...they have sex....the eventually make it to Seattle ....AND.....****spoiler alert**** Miranda's Pandas end up breaking both his feet (accompanied by really gross bone breaking sounds I might add)

Caution: when trying to find a movie to watch without subtitles- it is important to realize that stupid movies like this one are pointless. Don't get me wrong, it was kinda entertaining...I got a few laughs out of it. Like this scene with a drugged out Jeremy Piven....


























And Yes, that is Jared Leto grabbing is manly parts...and yes...that is Mr. Gyllenhaal....look how far he has come. (no his acting still kinda sucks)

Overall recommendation: it may be more entertaining if you were intoxicated while enjoying this wonderful cinematic masterpiece.....
