A Fork in the Road

This movie moved well and I thought it was very funny. I found myself laughing out loud and I was watching the movie by myself. In the IMDb credits the characters Carl and April are listed with a last name of Rogers but in the movie they refer to Carl's last name as Dumas.

Not a bad movie to watch as I could watch any movie with Jamie King. I love the scenery in that part of Montana- gateway to north part of Yellowstone. Great title for the movie. The movie is easy to watch and moves on quite nicely. If you are looking for a movie where you can sit back and laugh and wonder how they are going to handle one predicament after another this movie is for you.

A very cool movie - with an ending that fit right in.

Now, this is of course based on simple minded cops who don't carry on to actually follow through with a real investigation.

Alan wrote a movie which had an ending fir for anybody who doesn't have to do any real police type sleuthing or investigative work and it all tied in perfectly.

Now, if they were real cops and had to do a real crime scene investigation, the story simply wouldn't exist.

That aside, for a small budget movie and some fine entertainment, this is a movie which certainly can fit the bill.

Just the right amount of dark humor and stupidity to get a good comedy mix.

This movie was decent. Although it had a low budget feel to it, the actors delivered very convincing roles in their characters. At first I couldn't remember Jaime King's sister, but then I realized I seen her in White Chicks, with Shawn and Marlon Wayans. With all the drama that comes with movies, this was a sure delight. In the performances,the character of the escape convict was convincing enough. I also thought the roll of the Sheriff was intense but funny. The detective that was with him, also down played his character, but they pulled it off. Every scene had its moment where you wondered what was gonna happen next. The movie was written and directed very well. I recommend it to those who like dark comedy with a hint of romance.

Will Carson (Josh Cooke) is a convict who escapes after a car crash. He finds April Rogers (Jaime King) stuffing Martin Cheeder (Daniel Roebuck) into her car trunk. Will assumed Martin to be her husband but he turns out to be blackmailing her and is still alive. That soon changes when Martin drowns himself accidentally. Things keep getting more complicated when April's husband Karl Rogers (Silas Weir Mitchell) goes home and mistakenly assumes that April is having an affair with Martin. Of course, Karl is actually cheating on April with Nola (Missi Pyle) who turns out to be April's sister. The complications do not stop as the cops try to figure exactly what's going on.

The movie needs to calm down the wacky comedy music. This could have been a good black comedy but the music keeps stepping on it. If I want to enjoy the wild black comedy, I don't want to be have a flashing sign pointing at it. Jaime King is a pretty good comedic actress and Josh Cooke isn't that bad. They are good together for the most part. I'm just not that impressed with Jim Kouf's writing or directing. He's trying too hard and not quite getting the comedy right. It's a wacky bumbling crime drama with a few moments of fun comedy.

First of all, let me clarify why this movie warrants 9/10. I did not have any expectations from this movie when I first watched it. The movie is hilarious, the scenery amazingly picturesque, and the background music helps add to the fun.

After I watched the movie, I rented it out again to watch it with my wife and she too loved it. We were laughing through the entire length of the movie. This movie does not have any of the rude humor that you see in movies nowadays.

Love it... and may watch it again in a few days.

Brilliant!
