best movie i've ever seen.

Best movie ever!

Scenes from this irreverent film will stay with you for a lifetime, it is very funny in surprising ways. Has the courage to break away from stereotypical gender roles trite scripted relationship fodder typically captured on celluloid. I can't recall having seen a film like this before, though it is low budget and sometimes a little awkward in paces. Definitely worth watching, if you can find it on DVD; these 80s era films fall in a deadzone VHS tape era, and often are very difficult to find on DVD. C'mon NetFlix, let's get more of these cool Indy films into the library!

Before there was "In The Company of Men", there was "Patti Rocks". David Burton Morris's raw, honest, perceptive exploration of the open sores that exist between men and women is a neat two-hander. Chris Mulkey and John Jenkins hit the road to visit Patti Rocks, a woman one of the guys has knocked up. Their road trip becomes a fascinating dialog on the way men perceive women and women fail to understand men. The film was slapped with an "X" rating for language originally, but earned an "R" on appeal. These days, you'd probably hear similar chat on an HBO series, so the language is no big deal, but the script is very well written and the resolution is novel. For the saltiest X-rated language these days, look no further than a Max Hardcore video (preferably an uncut Euro version). Happy hunting.

We whine about extravagant cute foppishness by the brothers Coen, but bury straight sweet refreshing slaps in our supersilly faces like this $350,000 wonder, also generated in/from the northmidwest? Why? Superficially woman-unfriendly, but at least two females have watched it all the way through & rated it for imdb, granting an average of 8. I would go a little higher than that, but wonder how much how we REALLY seem/act/are interests us. Viewer inexperience in working class taverns may limit appreciation/recognition. A gem.

"Patti" is a strange and gutsy little flick with dialogue that sounds improvised, but in a good way - this is how real people talk. Give credit to the actors for getting naked, too...appropriate in a film about stripping down barriers and getting to the core behind the ugly things we say.Besides, it's kinda fun, and short enough to hold your attention. Nice one when your date bails on you.
