Summary: Freeway 2
Review: Very funny movie, I never seen anything like it. Awesome performance from Maria (Maria if you happen to read this, I love you :)) One the best of this genre I ever seen. The only problem was the DVD mastering job. The company they gave the master to didn't do a good reproduction. All I see is ghosts and fuzzy images. The movie looks better from the videotape I made off satellite cable.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is this really from the same director/writer of Freeway?
Review: We're a long way from the Oliver Stone produced "Freeway" with this melange of a women-in-prison/women-on-the-run flick and hints of Hansel and Gretel. Writer/director Matthew Bright scored big in the first Freeway, a street-life take on Little Red Riding Hood. But without Reese Witherspoon, Keifer Sutherland, Amanda Plummer et. al, this new version never takes off. The characters aren't all that interesting, the humor is missing completely, and the cliches come thick and fast. Just so you know, none of the characters from the original appear in the falsely named Freeway 2, and to tell you the truth, I didn't even see too many "confessions" here. The only connection is two exerpts from the original appearing on a television screen. I can't really believe that the guy behind the first one had much to do with this one. A big disappointment.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a wreck
Review: You need only see ten or fifteen minutes of this mess to realize how brilliant Bright's original Freeway was. This sequel is virtually unwatchable.

The stellar quality of Reese Witherspoon's previous performance is sharply contrasted by the typically annoying and stony mumbling of Natasha Lyonne. After seeing this chubby, distaff Sylvester Stallone miscast as a bulimic, will we next see Divine in the role of Karen Carpenter? Martin Short as Hercules?
