100 Mile Rule (2002)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

OK, so it isn't a great movie. Who cares? It has Maria Bello and that's enough for a peek if you have nothing else to do. She plays a con artist who takes advantage of the saying, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." In this case, it's what happens 100 miles from home doesn't matter. Businessmen at a corporate training trip taking advantage and getting caught. The movie spends a lot of time filming the trainer. Time wasted that would have been better spent film Miss Bello. Our loss. Also stars Dawn of the Dead's Jake Weber, and The Ring's David Dorfman as father and son. There are a bunch of others in the movie, but hey, I'm watching because of Maria Bello so i really don't care about them.

The movie was funny, but the message was "dark". What are the consequences of losing out to temptations? Do you really want to risk everything you have? The "boyfriend" and his untimely end was a total surprise to me! Since I'm from the Midwest, I can see how Bobby can be tempted while visiting the Southern California area. By the way, Maria Bello would tempt anyone! She is a very beautiful and talented actor. The story reminds me of another comedy called "The Guy Thing". It told of the temptations that a guy has to endure prior to his upcoming wedding. Again, it's the "other woman". However, that movie would not be considered a "dark comedy". In fact, "The Guy Thing" has a much happier ending than this movie. All in all, "100 Mile Rule" is very entertaining and worth viewing

I picked this up because it had Jake Weber in it, who I love, and because I find Michael McKean hilarious. I didn't know what to expect, but I loved it. The comedy is quite clever and had me on the floor quite a few times. The acting is top-notch. Maria Bello is perfect as the femme fatale and makes sure not to go for the jugular in her scenes, brilliantly underplaying them to snare her game. Jake Weber has the dorky family man role down pat. Everything from the shifting of his glasses to his walk to his horrendous shirts. One of the funniest scenes involves him and his wife attempting phone sex.Don't expect a mastepiece, it's just lightweight entertainment. But it's incredibly well-made, clever, funny, and well-acted.9/10

This is a fantastic film that made me laugh out loud which isn't easy to do. I loved the characters, especially Jerry, whose hair should have its own credit. The film was well written and extremely well directed. I highly recommend 100 MILE RULE.
