Movie Review: It Was Heaven When This Movie Was Finally Over!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: a different kind of story
Summary: 4 Stars

Navy (Grieco) is a very handsome but depressed male prostitute. He yearns for a more fulfilling and meaningful way of life. He realizes that he needs to get out of Vegas so he plans to go to Montana.

Beautiful and childlike Rachel (Bleeth) is a drug addicted strip club dancer. (Though she looks "out of place" and stands out by the way she dresses compared to the other, less clothed background dancers.) She is obsessed with fairytales and daydreams about being a damsel in distress who is rescued by a knight in shining armour.

Rachel's dream actually comes true when she is being abused by a drug pusher in a parking lot and Navy boldly comes to her rescue. She learns of her knight's plans for Montana and tries to persuade him to take her along with him. Reluctantly he complies. Navy casually becomes a positive influence on her. On the way to Montana they stop to see Rachel's welcoming (but indifferent) Mormon father in Utah. Rachel's father introduces her and Navy to his a new wife who has two daughters.

Rachel and Navy relate to the other characters and each other with emotion and depth. While staying at her father's home, Rachel is reminded of her mother's suicide (the cause of her and her alcoholic brother's disturbing childhood past)and Navy feels he has found "Montana" as he is surrounded with acceptance and comfort from the community,especially in the arms of Rachel's eldest step-sister, Lily. Rachel reacts self destructively with drugs, liquor, and involvement with psychotic "tenters", who are like homeless hippies. She does find a tender connection with her youngest step-sister Paige, who is loyal, supportive and sweet to her. After a surpising(...trying not to give the ending away)series of events and frightening, near fatal incidents there is a final and meaningful happy ending.

THERE ARE MANY, MANY CHARMING AND HUMOROUS SCENES in between the more serious and dramatic ones. There are a couple of scenes in which the acting could have been a little better of both Grieco and Bleeth, but only because I think they seemed to be "over" acting; particularly when Navy is in the kitchen getting yelled at by his "ex-boss" and when Rachel is making her wish at a small creek and her eyes are glazed over. I MUST add that during their road trip, the BACKGROUND SCENERY WITH the BACKGROUND MUSIC is INCREDIBLE! Highly impressive!

Movie Review: Better than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars

The two came together....not on richards part. he wasnt found of her, he was trying to run away from his female pimp (i know doesn't that sound odd) so he left vegas. yasmeen wanted to come, he didnt, he felt sorry for her so he let her tag along.
They ended up in her home town (utah i think). He really likes it there. the opposite from vegas. Then he likes yasmeens sister, the female pimp comes for him in utah, and then all that other stuff. The movie at times seemed a little slow or not well produced. but other than that i was satisfied.

I have always liked grieco and in this film he was good. and yasmeen really did look like she was on drugs.
