After being robbed, drug-pushing urban cowboy Rick hits the road in search of a famous porn star with which he is obsessed. Along the way he encounters a variety of odd characters.
Jake Busey (Rick), Crispin Glover (Jules), Natasha Lyonne (Tamara), Adam Goldberg (Jack), Eric Roberts (Robinson), Jennifer Tilly (Ginger), Vijou Phillips (Tracy), Lee Ving (Leather Jacket), Darling Narita (Iona).
Fast Sofa is an unusual film reminding us of Pulp Fiction and other Tarantino films. The story is strange but simple; Rick is robbed and decides to hit the road in search of Ginger, his favorite adult actress. Of course, the journey is peppered with unusual characters and events. The result feels like a strange story of stalking with some animal cruelty thrown in for giggles. Best scene, Busey as Rick nailing Tilly as Ginger outdoors in the hills of Hollywood.
Acting was okay with Busey, Glover, and Tilly all doing fairly well and appearing to work well together. Lyonne was okay, and Goldberg was simply annoying as always. Roberts was a fitting addition and did pretty well, as did the remainder of the supporting cast.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are a little rough but overall okay. Action scenes are mild but solid. Dialogue is campy, corny, and a complete nightmare at times. Sound and soundtrack are okay.
Overall Fast Sofa something of a miss as far as a film. The storyline is a bit ridiculous, acting is mediocre at best, and technical work is pretty rough around the edges. Fans of Tilly may enjoy this one for a few select scenes but not much else.
With nudity, fairly explicit sexuality, foul language, and more, save this one for adults and above.
