NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

SnoopyStyle Boyd Pritchett (Anthony Clark) drives his little sister Wyleen (Hedy Burress) from their rural Virginia home to big city Boston where she starts school at Randolph Harrington College. Boyd falls for graduate student Joy Byrnes (Traylor Howard) and takes the repairman job at the Student Union. Tasha King (Tasha Smith) is his new sassy black co-worker. Joy is actually going out with pompous Prof. Jack Reed (Vincent Ventresca). To Wyleen's dismay, Boyd stays in her apartment. Leonard Prince (Steve Paymer) is their sad-sack 18th century footwear archivist neighbor.The writing team of Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are the co-creators. The first season was a late-season shorten replacement and it did relatively well. It sets up a functional group of characters. The central love triangle starts off a little rocky but after a few episodes, Joy's flirtations with Boyd help. They end up in the friends zone in the second season anyways. The second season stagnates as the characters are unable to expand their connections. The show has some sitcom fun but isn't anything long lasting. It probably needs one or two extra characters for romantic possibilities. The addition of Roger Rees is good but Ventresca is essentially diminished by him.

damned_mad The main characters in the show were not from West Virginia, as the plot outline states. They were actually from Gladys, VIRGINIA, 24554. Don't know where it is? It's about half way between Brookneal and Alta Vista. Still lost? I could keep naming towns and you still wouldn't know. It's literally in the middle of nowhere south of Lynchburg.Is this information important or helpful? No, but as a Virginian it was my duty to make the correction.I originally found the show somewhat amusing, but stopped watching it because I felt the writers presented an inaccurate depiction of residents of The Old Dominion.

MovieMilhouse21 This is another one of the many guilty pleasures that was on the USA network. This was one of the many shows that I used to love on the USA network. My favorite character was Leonard. He was kind of weird, but in a totally good way. I was really mad when they took this show off the air. I had a whole lineup on the USA network that I would watch on days when I was off from school and this was one of them. I am mad that the USA channel stopped playing my shows.

pete-291 Boston Common is very cool. Especially interesting is the secret cult of women known as the Subrosas. When Wyleen manages to get an invitation to join, she turns up her nose. Interesting episode.
