we're looking for a Kelly Bundy
18 December 2016
Total white trash movie, notable for vintage Zellweger performance, which instantly drew me in when I encountered the trailer on some other DVD, that scene where she eagerly jumped onto Watty on the couch, all long legs and bare feet. And Renee is great. Movie is very watchable. Sure has moments. Inconsistent performances by supporting cast, especially the overblown attempt at psycho acting by Rory Coltrane. Noticed that in the trailer already, and was wary, but had to give the hot-fox-back-then the honors.

For a comedy, too much blood.

The DVD's commentary track recalls that they had a hard time finding the ideal Starlene Cheatham. Renee Zellweger channeled a total Kelly Bundy from MARRIED WITH CHILDREN vibe. Could have made the search much easier had they known beforehand.
