Dorian (Luke Wilson) and Angus (Jake Busey) try to "scare the devil" out their stepfather by chasing him with a helicopter -- but in an unplanned accident, it kills him. To make matters worse, the old man has been having an affair with Sally (Drew Barrymore), a young employee at the local Burger-Matic who's now pregnant and searching for a substitute father for her child. Things really get complicated when she thinks Dorian could be the one.
We'd seen this several years ago, but I'm a complete space cadet and forgot and added it to the list. I suspect this was before I started blogging my movie reviews.
This wasn't a bad movie....Kinda bizzare and unique in it's story line. The director Dean Parisot has directed Northern Exposure and Monk, but TV series which are good and poor respectively. He also directed Galaxy Quest, which wasn't really terriffic, but not the worst Sci-Fi I'd ever seen. Once again, middle of the road on this one, 3 stars.
I like renting movies to watch @ home, but let's be honest, most of them suck. However there is an occasional gem, so why should you wade through the crap? No in depth verbose commentary, or incredibly witty insight, just me mouthing off. I use NetFlix for my DVD rental, and so should you. They rule.
