| | froggy 01/29/2008 | | Saw this movie only once. I've looked for years to find the name of this movie. No one I know has ever seen the movie. I've always liked Jill, but I did find this movie to be a bit bizarre. I cant say the movie is boring or dull or that it had any redeeming factors. It was like watching a train wreck , you couldn't look away. |
