The busy atmosphere of the hospital reminded me of the busy atmosphere of The Paper, people doing their own thing as the camera captures brief moments in their day.

It starts off as a typical Lynch film with cross-faded imagery, in this film we get elephants and the violent distress of a woman.

I had come to know this movie as the Hillbilly rape-revenge flick but consider my surprise when I find out this was more of a survival film fighting the elements of mother nature.

I can see why the film has somewhat of a cult status though as the film falls into the guilty pleasure category pretty quickly.

That's a lot to tackle and when you try to cram it into a film you've got yourself a film that doesn't know how to balance itself.

The film starts off with a trigger warning and goes through a long list of things that might piss people off, so of course, it did and the film sits with an IMDB rating lower than 6.0.

My least favourite Apatow directed film and once again a film that tells me he desperately needs an editor.

There are moments that the film wants to surprise you, but everything is telegraphed in a way that we, as the viewer are simply waiting for the film to catch up.

The final film in our break up theme and one that felt pretty genuine.

The climax of the film takes place in a fun house and the fight sequences happen on some trampolines, so people are flying all over the place to hide the fact that it is bad.
