So many stupid plot twists, dumb accents (what in the WORLD is wrong with Candace Bergen that she takes a role like this???), disappearing characters, obvious "gag" lines.....and what a waste of money (even with my wife's and my Senior Citizens discounts, this was a total waste!) If you do go, don't expect it to get better "after the next twist". It doesn't. Ever. Up to and including the OBVIOUSLY staged "outtakes" at the end, which are every bit as inane as the movie itself. Dreadful.

Feeling like I needed "something light", and based on the tv ads, I went to see Riding in Cars; I came away from a movie that was funny and much more: sad and dramatic and very, very moving. Drew Barrymore is a phenomenal actress; the rest of the cast, while not exactly headliners, are spectacularly authentic. Everything about the film rings true, including the ending. I'll steer everyone I know to this one.

Fascinating characters, a beliveable rip-off plan, and a mixture of screwy but all-too-real personalities make Sitting Ducks a perfect "scam" movie. It's funny, exciting, a little sexy, and full of surprises. I've watched it over and over and will be watching it for a long, long time.
