I love this movie so much

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Natasha Richardson (gorgeous smile & too sweet) is Darlene Dodd and she's just not real good about leaving home./Billy Bob Thornton (devilishly handsome smile) is Lonnie Earl Dodd (married to Darlene) and if you can't trust old Lonnie Earl Dodd then you can't trust anybody./Patrick Swayze (beautiful smile & so bright) is Roy Kirkendall but hell he can't find that husband of Darlene's nowhere who's probably up to no good. Charlize Theron (great legs!) is Candy Kirkendall (not married to Lonnie Earl) and you're damn right she sure as hell feels dirty!Waking Up in Reno is really funny and super sweet (& super smart) and super duper sexy it really hits home with 4 epic (as good as it gets) stars that is so underrated (5.5???)!Charlize (the most atomic beautiful blonde ever...) is the most beautiful atomic blonde ever (sorry, Marilyn). Charlize shows her butt in her underwear, a bikini, just a towel, in her jeans (Shania!!!!, I mean Natasha and Charlize dancing to Shania!!!!!) and her pajamas./Patrick (super sweet, God I love him) & BBT (super cool, God I can't stand him) are both charming and really (as much as I care), really sexy plus Patrick goes swimming (shirtless!)./Natasha Richardson is the most beautiful woman ever. I love Natasha Richardson. As all-time pretty as Theron is (The Atomic Blonde!!), Natasha is simply (& incredibly) irresistible and I absolutely love Natasha Richardson (and her whole family) she's the sweetest and just to die for. Sweet Natasha getting in the pool in her one-piece in this is the hottest (most supremely discounted!!) sweet & sexy movie moment ever (it really is). Waking Up in Reno (with Patrick Swayze and Natasha Richardson) has the two most sweetest (& most beautiful) persons who have ever died too young (again, sorry, Marilyn). It's endless pleasure & amusement & joy seeing Pat & Nat acting onscreen together (in this). I want to be with Charlize (the hottest blonde ever!!!) but Natasha makes it soooooo close. 7 outta 10!

Because the first half is worth sleeping through as the fun is in the second half. Trust me, you won't miss anything of the story if you catch it from the second half but make sure to catch Penelope Cruz's sizzling but hilarious cameo first with Billy Bob and then with Patrick. The story is nothing new, nor interesting and has been done x times. The characters are irritating particularly those played by Thornton, Theron and Swayze. However, Natasha Richardson's Darlene is very likable. Performance wise, all the actors fit the bill especially Natasha Richardson (who remarkably pulls off the Southern accent)and Charlize Theron (in the later scenes). The lads, Billy Bob Thornton and Patrick Swayze are alright. The ending was somewhat awkward but a happy one nonetheless. The 'catfight' scene in the lift was hilarious and there's a wonderful moment of acting by Richardson when she's in the lounge after her tiff with her husband when she finds out that he cheated on her. One might feel hateful towards Theron's character when she advises Darlene and supports her like a friend when she had shagged her husband but in the latter half one feels sympathy for her as Theron displays Candy's remorse quite well. The soundtrack is quite fun and of the foot-tapping sort. Overall, this is an okay movie to watch after you've had a very tiring day and just want to relax and watch something that won't use up your energy too much.

In Little Rock, the redneck couples Lonnie Earl Dodd (Billy Bob Thornton) and his wife Darlene Dodd (Natasha Richardson), and Roy Kirkendall (Patrick Swayze) and his wife Candy Kirkendall (Charlize Theron) decide to travel together on vacations to Reno to see a Monster Truck Show. Candy wants to get pregnant of Roy, but is having an affair with Lonnie. Once in Reno, Candy finds that she is pregnant, while Roy's doctor advises that he is infertile, based on the results of his sperm test. The inevitable quarrel happens between the four travelers. "Waking Up In Reno" is a very disappointing movie, specially having such a cast. The result is not balanced, oscillating from a comedy of bad taste to a dramatic romance, but without any explanation for Candy cheating her beloved husband. The accent of the cast, probably from the region of Little Rock, is terrible to be heard. Maybe some of the best attractions are the beauties of Natasha Richardson and Charlize Theron, in a comedy that rarely made me laugh. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Seu Marido e Minha Mulher" ("Your Husband and My Wife")

I found this film on satellite one night, hadn't heard of it so sat down to watch - and spent the next 90 mins laughing!! Great lines delivered deadpan by a great cast, never thought I'd hear such witty banter (definitely very crude at times!!) said by such a cast. I especially enjoyed the lines from Patrick Swayze, I haven't seen him in anything in years since the 'Roadhouse' days and he made me laugh bigtime, do more comedy Mr.Swayze!!Not a brain teaser or Oscar winner by any means, but definitely worth a watch if you want some laughter. My rating - 8/10.
