Lake City Movie Review and Critic
It’s always appreciated when filmmakers turn away from the two coasts and actually try and make movies about the way the rest of the country lives, but movies like Lake City aren’t helping anyone. Contrived and too serious for its own good, it’s hard to imagine any distributor loving it so much they want to let the rest of the world see it. Consider yourselves spared of the boredom. A movie review and critic By Katey Rich
In their debut outing, helmer-scribes Perry Moore and Hunter Hill fall victim to the Rapunzel fallacy: the belief that if you capture a star, he or she can spin cliche hay into cinematic gold. In “Lake City,” Sissy Spacek faces down murderous drug dealers and races through the cornfields to protect her grandson in a Southern heartstring-tugger about the importance of family. Thesps — including Dave Matthews (sans band), Drea de Matteo, Keith Carradine and Jane Fonda-offspring Troy Garity — set off enough emotional tripwires to stave off bathos, but it’s a near thing. Theatrical chances look dim. A movie review and critic By RONNIE SCHEIB
You can’t go home again, unless your girlfriend pisses off Dave Matthews by stealing his cocaine and heroin and you have to take her son—who’s also your son, except you haven’t told him yet because you know you’re a loser—back to the farm where you were raised and where your brother died and where his memory continues to wear on your mother’s conscience. Quaintly shot and paced, not unlike Shotgun Stories, but insanely over-written, Lake City dumps on audiences a plot that consists of 500-some-odd puzzle pieces that all come together exactly as you expect. This is the type of film where detail doesn’t so much reflect character as it advances the logistics of a bird-brained ending that has Mary Margaret (Sissy Spacek) running through a cornfield with her grandson Clayton (Colin Ford) while thugs riding a gas-guzzling monstrosity nip at their heels.
