Mena never quite gets large leading roles as big as the past any more but I do like her which is the only reason I bought the DVD.
OK, get ready for this and I'm not kidding. How ridiculous of a premise can you have in a movie before you get taken right out of the experience? But what if that premise is inspired by a true story? OK this is based on a true story and I REMEMBER the event well! The ending is way different. I've never really asked myself these questions before, but this movie had me mulling it over.
The setup is simple but mind-numbingly ignorant. Brandy is a nurse at a retirement home by day and a pill-popping club girl by night. Everything is going great for her because her super-cliche boss just 'un'officially offered her a promotion.
Mr. Thomas Bardo, however, is having an extremely bad day. He can't seem to catch any breaks whatsoever and is on his first night as being homeless.
To 'pre'-celebrate, Brandy parties large, takes 'X' gets loaded, drives home and promptly hits this gent so hard, he is STUCK (title cut) in her windshield. His legs break and he flies headfirst through her windshield.
Brandy just keeps on driving!!!! bloody passenger and all!!! Once home, she parks him and the car in the garage. The next 12 hours play out with such ridiculous ignorance (of which the film seems to be very aware of) that you somehow can't look away. That seems to be the twisted joke here. You watch this woman Brandy do everything in her power to not deal with this poor man who still alive and a bloody mess AND stuck in her car's windshield!!
Rather than blow her future, Brandy leaves the man to suffer stuck in her car in her garage (YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!) and plots how to deal with it!
I won't reveal any more (spoilers). But also, if you like your Mena Survari naked, there's a rather goth humor scene you'll enjoy. That's all I'll say (-:
The movie is average, but very odd and interesting. It is also (SAD!!) but a TRUE story!! (the end is different though). I remember the event well from the news papers!
It's not going to win awards by any means but it was not boring and worth a one time watch.
