Fast Sofa Review
Largely a character study of Rick (Jake_Busey), a deranged, sex-obsessed, small-time drug dealer (he looks like he even smells bad), this fast-moving, quirky road saga is the cinematic equivalent of a cheap paperback that you can't put down. Rick is disgusting, vile, and foul -- a verbal assault on a pair of cops is particularly uncomfortable -- but he's as exciting as he is despicable. Papa (that is, Gary_Busey) would be proud. The other stars -- Jennifer_Tilly and Crispin_Glover particularly -- are bizarrely captivating, and Eric_Roberts turns up out of left field near the end in yet another inexplicably weird hairstyle to provide menace. Glover is at the top of his form -- he hasn't been in this much control since The Orkly Kid -- as the bird-like virgin confronted with Rick's extroverted lifestyle. The laughs are rough ones, and the film doesn't have what's considered a big finish (although it is thoughtful, which doesn't quite jive with the proceedings), but it's a heck of a ride nonetheless.
