Quotes
Mr. White: Alright Jason, it's very simple. There's a piece of lint somewhere on my person. All you have to do is find it and remove it, alright?
Bea Van Arsdale: [whispering] Why are they making us do this?
Edie: [whispering] For the money. I mean, for the play money. It's a game. By the way, you did really well identifying those cleansers strictly by smell.
Bea Van Arsdale: [whispering] Thanks, it's fun to sniff vapors.
Edie: [whispering] Yeah, I'm proud of you.
Bea Van Arsdale: [whispering] That's the first time anyone's ever said that to me.
Jason Van Arsdale: Now, if I were a piece of lint, where would I be?
Mr. White: Hurry up and find it little boy. I don't like knowing there's a foreign object on me.
[squirming]
Mr. White: I'm beginning to get the heebie-jeebies. Please find it soon, Jason.
Jason Van Arsdale: I'm looking! Relax!
Mr. White: [turns to Mrs. White] He wants me to relax.
Mrs. White: I heard.
Mr. White: [grabs Jason's face by the cheeks] Listen, mister! I'm doing this for your benefit now you shut your trap and find that lint! Oh my god, oh! I can practically feel it burning a hole through my sweater!
Mrs. White: Oh!
Mr. White: Look up higher, Jason! Listen to me, I just told you it was on my sweater!
Mrs. White: Take it easy puddin', I'm right here!
Mr. White: Look! Somewhere here on my torso, Jason! For crying out loud, find it! Ah, god, I feel like I've got a scorpion on me!
Mrs. White: Are you alright?
Mr. White: No, I am not, Rita! What were we thinking? I mean, lint can consist of any number of disgusting things like flea eggs and pubic hair. And now it's on me and this little pea-brain can't even find it!
Edie: [whispering] Get it, Jason.
Mr. White: [shaking Jason by the shoulders] Hurry up and find it before I'm completely disgusted!
Mrs. White: Oh little boy can't you see my husband is in agony? Now you get it!
Mr. White: [still shaking Jason] Find it!
Mrs. White: Get it!
Edie: Get it!
Mr. White: [still shaking Jason] Find it!
Edie: Get it!
Mr. White: [still shaking Jason] Yes, find it!
Edie: Get it, Jason! No!
Mrs. White: [Jason vomits all over Mr. and Mrs. White as they scream in disgust] Tomato sauce, oh!

One half of a good movie.

This could have been a really good movie if someone would just have known how to finish the film.

The story was going along just fine and heading towards that point in every movie like this where the "gray" characters turn "good" and the "bad" guys get their just desserts and *boom* ... it's like they ran out of script and the cast just started to make things up.

Which wouldn't have been so bad ... if the cast had just continued with the character development they had already put in place. But such is not the case and the movie soon becomes a goofy mess.

My advice is to watch this movie up to about the last 30 minutes ... and then shut it off. At this point, imagine how you think the next 30 minutes will look based on what you have seen so far.

Believe me, the ending you come up with will look far better than how this film actually ends. Trust me on this.
