expected more but poked my eyes out.

There is nothing much that can be said really.

I get that this is "Lee Cummings" first attempt at being a director so he gets points for that alone, since he will of most likely used his own cash to do this to get noticed, and you know what he should, his directing is not bad for what he had to work with, i'm sure he'll go on to new a great things in the future, just as long as he leaves this cast and writer behind him.

i honestly did not watch this the whole way through as for the first 10 mins i wanted to reach through the screen and slap the bartender (The only white guy) as there friend for being the worst amateur first time actor of all times. forget the fact that neither of the cast has ever been in any other movies as extra's or anything, but i persevered for a little while longer.

But that script needed a re-write and editing from the get go, the first conversation this people had lasted almost 10 mins and it was the longest 10 mins of my life.

He starts by saying he'll date the first women that comes through the door, then they start defining parameters for the word women, as if any half breed inter-family child prodigy would ever get the word women mixed with lets say a female dog or cat or whatever.

So they spend the whole conversation ruling out what shouldn't be apart of the bet with things like, cant be a female sasquatch and so on and so on till it gets absurd.

title alone is worthy of Hollywood comedy as it sounds interesting but interesting is not what this movie is, not by a long shot.

Worth the trouble

After almost stopping the DVD after 10 or so minutes from some boredom, bad dialog and bad acting, the movie actually picked up some speed. I'd be willing to bet it was shot in-sequence, as it got better and better until the very end, where everyone seemed to run out of steam and the last sequence left me wondering where the energy went. However, the middle part of the film made it worth it, from the robbery scene where the robber leaves with less money than he came in with (my fav!) to the hallucination of Dirt and the Vagina Lady to the bartender's downward spiral - there's a solid middle section you might never get to if you can't stomach the fist ten to twenty minutes. I would not blame you if you turned it off, but you'd miss some funny stuff. 7/10 only because there's about 4 really good scenes you would never expect from an ultra-low budget flick with completely inexperienced actors and crew, a bunch of mediocre ones you would expect (and one really bad one with the "security guard" that's not even unintentionally funny and was left in probably because they shot 83 minutes and needed 83 minutes of footage.) 4/10 if this was a bigger production. I doubt they spent as little as $250 on this film as IMDb claims, but even if they spent $2500, it was impressive that anything sensible came out at all, yet alone some genuine laugh-out-loud moments.
