Well, you might be one if you think "Waking Up in Reno" is a drama. A critically slammed comedy about two married redneck couples from Arkansas who take a road trip to Reno, this corny flick is Razzie material. With enough star power to bring some credibility to an awful screenplay and script, this film doesn't really work and you only have to listen to the director/writer's track to see why. I got more laughs from watching Theron seriously describing of the film in the extras section of the DVD than I did watching the film. Among the more notable offerings during the 1.5 hour run are Thornton eating a 72 ounce streak in 1 hour; Cruz playing a prostitute for a heartbeat; a giant mechanical monster that eats cars at a monster truck show; and...and, well, that's about it. The rest of the time it's a sort of worst of Jerry Springer review. Best saved for broadcast. (C+)
