Waking Up in Reno | Natasha Richardson, Holmes Osborne | Quirky, funny movie     vhs video:     Waking Up in Reno   Waking Up in Reno Natasha Richardson, Holmes Osborne Miramax, 2003 average customer review:based on 26 reviews view larger image  for more information click here        highly recommended Shelved for two years before its limited theatrical release, Waking Up in Reno is the kind of comedy that makes you feel guilty for laughing. The lowbrow fun begins when Arkansas car dealer Lonnie Earl (Billy Bob Thornton, perfectly cast) cheats on his wife Darlene (Natasha Richardson) with Candy (Charlize Theron), the wife of his best friend Roy (Patrick Swayze). When the couples pack up Lonnie Earl's ill-fated SUV to see the monster-truck jam in Reno, Nevada, Roy's meager sperm count and Candy's surprise pregnancy result in a series of marital repercussions. Stuck in a no-man's-land between road-trip farce and redneck parody, this comedic misfire trades in dimwit stereotypes and white-trash condescension, showing its age with a thankless hot-Latina cameo by Penélope Cruz. It's painless enough to be watchable, and Thornton's character is a likeable fool as he surveys the damage he's caused. Watch carefully, and you'll find plenty of mostly unfulfilled promise along with a half-hearted chuckle or two. --Jeff Shannon  for more information click here Laugh out loud funny To go from Dirty Dancing to idiot standing, Patrick Swayze is too funny. Billy Bob is at his best doing his country thang from his home of Arkansas and is worth watching twice! Quirky, funny movie This movie is the kind of movie you want to watch to be entertained. There is no deep meaning, it's just a very funny movie. Out of the four main characters, Billy Bob Thorton and Charlize Theron really stand out for their comical portrayals. The two couples decide to take a road trip from rural Arkansas to Reno, they packed a few suitcases and quite a few cases of beer. There are many comical moments along the way and once they get there. If you want a light movie to watch this is a good one.  for more information click here Great Old Movie Bought 2 copies of this old movie.
