    Storyline

    Edit
    When Ty's mother dies, he leaves Barstow for the coast, where his mother grew up and where the beach gives him solace. He gets work, makes friends with some local guys, and falls for Sandy, the sister of one of them. Without warning, Ty's hard-edged father, his profane uncle, and his two low-life half-brothers show up, needing a place to hide from the cops for awhile. Ty wants them gone, but his stubborn and ornery family checks into the local motel. Things get worse when the low-life brothers sexually assault Sandy. Her brother and his pals reply with fists. Out come guns and knives, and a showdown in the sand is guaranteed. —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

      Kirby: Man, lemme give you some advice. Don't ever get married.

      Tyler Briggs: Yeah? Why's that?

      Kirby: 'Cause it'll ruin your life! Uh! It's unbelievable! You know, she cuts her nails in bed, right? She leaves her hairs everywhere, she won't let me watch my TV shows, she won't let me sleep in my trunks, she shits on my friends, she hates the ocean, she snores like a fucking gorilla, she corrects my talkin', she won't even get out of bed and get her diaphragm! She only eats sushi.

      [mocking her in a funny voice]

      Kirby: I'll only eat sushi! Come on!

    People fight (yawn).
    It is an extreme challenge to find a sufficiently negative phrase to describe this movie. It is utterly boring, predictable, and without any interesting features whatsoever... no wait, that doesn't sound nearly negative enough. The plot isn't worthy of a newpaper cartoon strip, nothing much happens, the settings are uninteresting. You'd be better off sleeping or watching the clouds in the sky float by. The only provocative issue is the question it raises (for me) regarding why I let it remain on screen. No, wait, there's also the question regarding how anybody could make a film like this.
