Director: Craig Brewer
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci
Tagline: Everything is hotter down south.
Basic plot: Samuel L. Jackson finds Ms. Ricci unconscious & bloody by the side of the road; finds out she's a sex addict and attempts to cure her by chaining her to his radiator.
I just watched this film and it was fabulous. It gives off the initial vibe of a 70s sexploitation film with Ricci in her undies and skimpy T, but it gathers depth. Both characters need a bit of saving and redemption and find it in each other.
Things i loved after one viewing:
1. Christina Ricci walking in her short shorts and skimpy T in front of the monster John Deere tractor.
2. Samuel L. Jackson's singing.
3. the size differential between SLJ & CR.
4. the framing and beauty of the shot of CR on the floor in the green dress listening to SLJ playing the guitar and the lightning strikes flashing outside the windows on either side of her.
5. quote: "God seen fit to put you in my path and I aim to cure you." - SLJ
