a uniquely baffling experience – where to start? an old THR review referred to this as 'Gregg Araki making L.A. Confidential' and that only kind of begins to scratch the surface.
every character (with Pynchon-esque names such as Susan Pretzel, Beta Carotene etc.) is introduced with an onscreen title card with their name and profession (???) as if it's some sort of documentary. Heather Graham herself as Susan Pretzel is inexplicably dancing for over half of her screentime and speaks the line "Listen, you slimy disgusting lesbian, I have Latin blood in me and I'm gonna shoot your head off!"
speaking of which, the film has a ridiculous fascination (being that this is not in any other way posited as…

English review below
_________________________Eine der Hauptfiguren klingt und sieht genauso aus wie Benny Safdies Figur in Good Time. Ich entdeckte dies, als ich mir einen beliebigen Film auf IMDb ansah (den ich bereits vergessen hatte), als mir Heather Grahams Gesicht auf dem Poster in den verwandten Filmen unten auffiel. Dann wurde ich wegen der dreifachen Besetzung neugierig: Heather Graham, Rose McGowan, Teresa Hill. Außerdem spielt David Arquette mit. Dann sah ich die Synopsis: "Eine Performance-Künstlerin wird mit einer Karotte im Hintern tot am LAX aufgefunden. Drei Detektive befragen ihre Freunde, um herauszufinden, wer sie getötet hat und warum."
Ich denke, der richtige Weg, diesen Film zu beschreiben, ist einfach 90er Jahre zu sagen. Er hat einen seltsamen 90er-Jahre-Schnitt, seltsame…

“ Molly had a carrot forced up her ass
the lining was ripped and all the poison went through her body and she died a very painful, horrific death”
“We’re looking for someone who eats, lives and breathers... carrots”
“I just don’t understand your aversion to prosthetic limbs”
HOW have only 24 people watched this masterpiece???? -
this movie is so fucking WEIRD 😭 like it’s so goddamn strange. i don’t totally understand what happened but i love weird low budget nonsense utterly campy movies like this one. needed more whiny crying rose mcgowan. whenever heather graham would dance it was really giving nathan fielder dancing to shakira fr… she was probably the best part of this. these quotes… this storyline… everything abt this movie is just so bizarre like i cannot believe i just consumed this it’s so ridiculous. yeah this is a lot of fun i don’t understand it but i love anyway

- Heather Graham is great, and gay!
- “buying flowers for your girl?” “Yeah, what’s it to you?” “I’ll tell you what it is to me, here’s twenty dollars, go get yourself some crack, kid”
- “I am a lesbian in the 90s now, I can handle it”
- some killer outfits
- David Arquette!
- such a mess of a movie
- Rose McGowan!
- Pinks Hot Dogs!
- an old add for dienetics on a Scientology building in Hollywood
- Grauman’s Chinese theater
- capital records
- I love when random onlookers watch them filming in the background- YouTube (watch here)

If you put a gun to my head and asked me to tell you, convincingly, what happened in this random ass ungoogleable movie, or if I liked it??, I could not tell you, but I had a great time!!! I genuinely think a lot of this is funnier than I Think You Should Leave, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Like?????? WHAT IS THIS!! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!! So many people said yes to this!! A million famous people are in it somehow??? And it is absolute gibberish!!! And I was often bored because I was so confused!!! Yet I am required to stan!!!
God I wish there were a million more movies of people just fucking around with their friends filming their weird…

An odd duck. Somewhere between musty genre parody and indie calling card. Part narrated nineties noir feature-length flashback and part corny-quirky comedy with an overt need to inject zany "humor." But the thing is that one element majorly distracts from the other instead of combining to create something greater. There's also a bit of a false start with a character just getting out of prison that just... fizzles out. This isn't its only confusing and extraneous-seeming element. Add to this its verite-style handheld camerawork alongside character names and occupations appearing in the screen's bottom left and it seems more like a needless Law & Order spoof (the title kind of hints at this, as well). The biggest thing going for it…

A mesmerizing 90's fever dream... I am still not sure that I didnt just dream what I think I saw... Still not sure if it's kind of terrible or kind of brilliant? Either way, it's a thing that exists, I think...

There's a carrot serial killer on the loose...
Rose McGowan being and looking iconic. Heather Graham freestyle dancing on the sidewalk, and hanging out with flowers to help keep herself calm. An inspector Furballs arranging a set up outside a thrift store called Red Balls. A girl hopping down the street like a bunny, and hanging out with a bunny in a basement. Characters called T-Stripe. Tu tus and bunnies. The lollipop man. Giant fruit. Interviews with c-movie producers: "I'm making a film called attack of the killer tu tus." Oh, and carrots...
"I pitched my story to Hollywood but they said it was too bizarre to be believed." yep

The 90s-est movie that ever 90sed. Makes Reality Bites look like…a thing that was not from the 90s. Look, this film is a trashy mess from tip to toe, and in 1997 would not be deserving of more than 1/2 of one star. But everything about this movie reminds me of hormonally stumbling through the Tang Orange of mid-90s fashion and the Hypercolor blur of early digital low-budget Tarantinx. Why 3 1/2 and not a super legit 5? Well, the film might have a few issues that I was unable to ignore. Also, Jawbreaker is way better for the “ya know, whatever - psycho killer” of it all, and has way more McGowan (yet it’s somehow more grounded than this thing). But the vibes, man, the vibes.

Would be a pretty juiceless mix of 90s quirk and Tarantino edge, pleasant enough but put over the top by Heather Graham's insane character and performance. Must be seen to be believed
