Johnny Skidmarks (1998)
Slow, tedious, and a little over the top
24 June 2004 - 1 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
This movie started out slow, then slowed to a snail's pace, and then took off in a ridiculous , and contrived sprint to the finish. Please don't misunderstand, I'm all for "suspension of disbelief". I understand it's role in viewing a film, however, Johnny Skidmarks demands far too much suspension of disbelief ; as well as,
suspension of logic in general. I kept waking up my wife to show her how bad this film had become. I have the utmost respect for the actors, many of whom, I've enjoyed in other films but they dropped the ball on this one. Lastly,
Skidmark's relationship with Frances McDormand was about as stale and
unbelievable as any I've ever witnessed. There is a reason this film went from Sundance to HBO.
