Unfortunately, Christina Ricci is in it, but surprisingly she's good. I realized recently that I don't know why I hate her. Every movie that I've seen with her in it, she's been good. The movies have been good as well.
Vincent Gallo is funny as fuck in this. Vincent Gallo is awesome on a whole anyway. He did everything on this film. He dresses awesome too. This movie is a really great love story. As shitty as Billy was to Layla, Layla got to see Billy's life and understood him better and saw that underneath his demeanor, he is a very sensitive and loving person. She extracts that out of him.
But in the end, he realized that he was living his life to please his parents and they didn't even acknowledge or appreciate that. He saw that if he went along with everything as he planned, it would have no great impact at all. Nothing would be resolved. He understood what it meant to be loved.
The donut shop scene at the end reminded me of Boogie Nights. It was awesome, though.
If that doesn't sell it, uh, Mickey Rourke's in it.
