I didn't plan to write a comment, but two years have passed since the last person who wrote one for this movie. So here I am. I got this tape from a local library which was donated by a patron.
I have to say Ryan Phillippe looked really cute in this movie. The environment that his character Jimmy lives is really trashy, but he still looked cute with his sparkling innocent eyes. His presence certainly added some extra points for this movie.
I didn't read the brief description on the tape box, so I didn't know what this story is all about. To me, the movie has some confusing points at the beginning. Jimmy didn't call that guy as his dad, so I wasn't sure what their relationship was. Did Kate and Ray actually work or own that bar? Was Jimmy forced to have sex with Kate all the time? How did he become the father of those two boys without remembering? Why were there boxes in Ray's bedroom, etc? Somethings just don't make sense, how can that rich girl and Jimmy go to the same high school since they live so far apart. And why would she pay attention to him since he is so poor. And she actually went to his trashy place, tried to have sex with him? Beyond that, this is a dark and entertaining movie. It has the mystery all the way to the end, it kept me interested. I am sure that there are still people like them who live in the US even today. They have the mundane life.
