What's with the frogs!

Pros: Julianne Phillips, Tom Cruise

Cons: Frogs, unbelievable obscentities

All I can say is that this movie was full of potential but it just didn't add up. If I had to say what it was about....it would be.....despair...drugs...pain...mysogeny....lonliness...losers....frogs....

Make sense? Nope, it didn't to me either. Virtually the same cast as Boogie Nights with the exception of lounge lizard Burt Reynolds. It was not nearly as funny, just very sad and desperate.

The climax was millions of frogs dropping out the sky and nobody even questions it. I guess the characters all had bigger problems to deal with.

There were so many things left undone and things that just didn't make any sense in this film. Obscenties galore, so much so that you were numb to them after a while.

A real puzzler and disapointment.
