In a nutshell, this movie proved to be quite a pleasant surprise. It didn't leave me applauding for it in the end, but it also did not make me feel any urge to gauge my eyes out from watching it.
I had my doubts when I first read the negative reviews about this film. Even the brief description did nothing to lift my interest either, but I still gave it a go since I like forming my own opinions on a subject.
The movie started out with two women who just got out of prison and wanted to start a new life. They ended up in a small town where they had a run-in from the local sheriff who happens to immediately form a severe dislike for the two. Despite the prejudice they encountered along the way, they rented a dilapidated marina and made it their home. Not long after, though, they started to get harassed by rednecks. One in particular was a huge man named Junior who tried to pass for a creepy psycho retard, but never quite reaches it.
There is very little blood and gore seen in the movie, but what they lacked in that department, they made up for breast exposure and bikini scenes. The acting at times bordered on silly, but there was something about the movie that wouldn't let you turn it off in spite of it. I guess one could say that this movie is so bad, it's good.
Near the end of it, when you begin to think that the movie is getting to be monotonous, it surprises you with a bit of a twist. Nothing monumental, but clever nevertheless. The ending actually turned around my opinion of the entire movie. Admittedly, even if I would agree with anyone that this would never make a list as one of the industry's iconic films, I could say with conviction that it is worth watching.
