Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What?
Review: Natural Born Killers is lame. Love and a .45 rules! Don't forget it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's Fun!
Review: Okay, first off, you cannot go wrong with a movie that has the Butthole Surfers and the Jesus and Mary Chain on the soundtrack.

Now, this was another of those movies I rented because I got to Blockbuster late and all the "good stuff" was gone...this movie is so cheesy, it's hysterical! It's one of those cool "laugh out loud" and "don't have to think while watching it" movies.

Key scenes to look for: Billy Mac robbing the store, Billy Mac and the fork, Billy Mac and the tattoo, and Peter Fonda's cameo (or whatever his role is) in the movie.

I heard it was something of a rip-off of Natural Born Killers but since I never saw that, I don't know, but seeing as how Love and a .45 was made first...chicken or the egg, huh?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great road movie!
Review: The best of the "Trailer trash livin', acid droppin', convenience store robbin', bald head tatooin', chased by crazed speed freak killers" genre. ... 10 years ago the critics of this movie would have been accusing Tarantino/Stone/Bright etc. of [copying] other directors that had passed before them or inspired their work. The truth is, Love & a 45' is a highly entertaining road movie that may be compared to Natural Born Killers, Freeway, and others but has the strength to stand on it's own two feet. Personally I think it's a great ride and after watching the comparison films thirty or forty times I dont see any comparison to speak off. Peter Fonda is great as a wheelchair bound throwback to the 60's living off a fat disability check and still working down his acid stockpile from the good ole' days. Renee Zellweger is yummy as ever and Gil Bellows is adequately loopy and neurotic as her live in soon to be husband. Whacky characters and crazy scenes galore and it is fun to watch. Five full clips!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brilliant, If Violent Satire
Review: The opening scene of this movie is so brilliantly handled it just sucks you in and never lets go. Out to rob a convience store minded by a dim-witted teenager, our hero(?) just can't
help laying a little big-brotherly advice and philosophy on the
poor lad before getting around to actually emptying the till.
The dialogue between the two is handled so gracefully and with
such wit by all concerned that you just can't help wanting to find out what's next, even when it gets frightenly violent.

Renee Zelleweger is an absolute gem throughout, as an oversexed,
undereducated gun moll. This movie explores what happens when
people with Texas-sized dreams meet the limitations of their
squirrel-sized brains, and manages to do so with wit, style and
a light touch, even as it gets breath-takingly violent. And, yes, folks, Peter Fonda DOES steal the whole picture in his brief
turn as Starlene's burnt-out hippie dad. Don't miss this!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: far exceeds it's budget
Review: this film moves so fast and smooth you don't even realize the 90 min or whatever have past. the white trash trailer dwellers are never given the chance to tell their stories, and after watchin' this one i want to run out and get a double wide. i had to buy it. the performences are as believable as anthing else made for millions more. peter fonda's cameo is a high point.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: NOW we know where Tarentino COPIES his intensity! A#1 flick!
Review: THIS is one of my MUST HAVE dvd's! The flick was first spotted on IFC channel and I WAS PROMPTLY DRAWN IN to the energy of this Indie jewel! If you enjoy believable action and complete realism, or if you've ever been down a Texas highway, view this gem! If you get into any ONE of the following, then this is your next movie...: Hot Pants, sex, drugs, Rock & Roll, pistols, law-gone-bad coppers, graphic violence, Texas twangs, Peter Fonda portraying a hippie or white girls seducing Mexican border guards. Now myself, Well, I love MY .45 so I dug the movie! Quintin T is no groundbreaker...this flick was his reference I'm betting...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Love it!
Review: This is one of the coolest movies ever and I'm glad I bought it. If you ever come across the soundtrack, grab it! Because its hard to find.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: awsome movie!
Review: This Movie is awsome! Its very violent, especially when billy gets stabbed in the neck with a fork!
This movie is both funny, violent, action and a romance. Its all the above! I would reccommend this movie to anyone who likes a little thrill. Action-packed totally!
