Can't tell if this is a comedy or not.

Can't tell if this is a comedy or not, I don't write that to be mean, but this "film" so hilariously awful i found myself asking myself if it was intentional.

The film plods along at a snails pace, as does the exchange of stiff/moronic dialog which I'm convinced everyone is on lithium/lexipro. We are entertained by long pointless driving scenes and country music.(really lame covers of Marshall Tucker and Willie Nelson included). The needle drop cues are terrible, and have nothing to do with the scenes.

Our leading lady (sorry if the reads cruel, I don't wish to be unfair, but hey, you put it out there so I'm gonna' comment.) is Dawna Lee Heising, who has also starred in "Horndogs Beach Party", essentially playing the same role.

Ms Heising has had numerous "procedures" to face and body, to what purpose is unclear: help in getting roles, excess resources, afraid of aging, self-loathing issues, or the producers/casting wanted a cyborg for the lead, in that latter event, they hit the nail on the head. She has a shower scene, but not only does she not want to see her own nipples, it looks as if they were taped. (That's as close as you get to nudity in the entire film).

The film in general has tads of Psycho in it.( A book that is titled " Human Taxidermy" by Norman Bates on the hotel counter, and a ghost mom, and of course a stabbing scene in the shower) But it also has sudden scenes of dancing (the same reggae song appears twice in the movie, once in a car, and the other in a hotel room without any visible signs of a boom box or the ilk. Two pretty girls spontaneously dancing to reggae in conservative lingerie for no reason.

Also, 2- totally different characters in different times in the film order a "burger, medium, with lettuce only and a beer" A couple of people get stabbed for reasons that weren't entirely apparent. (I guess that's the "Paradise" part) The film is supposed to take place in 2022, but there's no technology, I mean seriously, 3 girls in a bar without a cellphone? Not a computer screen anywhere.

I never understood the plot of the film if there actually IS one, from my vantage it only seemed to serve to make me laugh and shake my head how someone got funding and distribution.

Then there's the ending credits with visual portrayals of everyone in the film, which takes FOREVER, (just like the intro).
