Waking Up in Reno Audience Reviews

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

selmanalkan The main idea of the film is that "Roy,honey, l love you. No, l mean, l really love you. But, recently, l have let your best friend bang me for a while but l swear l never moaned or screamed. Honey, l love you and we will also have a baby soon no matter who the father is...." This film is that crap. Cheating has become something inevitable in American movies. what a shame...
Predrag If you are looking for easy, adult, laugh out loud entertainment, this is the movie. It is a light hearted comedy and the story lines have been "done to death" but these 4 actors put a fresh spin on these otherwise "trite" characters. Billy Bob Thornton is just brilliantly funny. You want to hate him but you can't. To see Patrick Swayze playing what we think is a not too bright person was fabulous. He did an outstanding job. I have never seen him in a roll like this. The talents of this cast take this story and make it enjoyable and entertaining. This is Jerry Springer meets Road Trip and the result is a ball of fun! If you like your laughs big, fat and dumb, then you'll probably like this one. There were a few good one-liners that gives this one re- watch value for some. The sex scenes, however, are nothing but tease and may leave you frustrated. Actually it is rather fun hearing Swayze talk with a southern accent. Tony Orlando is good in his small role. Overall, it's a great film that offers great comedy, but at the same time, it offers us true pictures of the human condition that can strike close to home.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
Derek Jamison (dmj_incorporated-1) If you hate redneck accents, you'll hate this movie. And to make it worse, you see Patrick Swayze, a has been trying to be a redneck. I really can't stand redneck accents. I like Billy Bob Thornton, he was good in Slingblade, but he was annoying in this movie. And what kind of name is Lonnie Earl? How much more hickish can this movie get? The storyline was stupid. I'm usually not this judgemental of movies, but I couldn't stand this movie. If you want a good Billy Bob Thornton movie, go see Slingblade.My mom found this movie for $5.95 at Wal Mart...figures...I think I'll wrap it up and give it to my Grandma for Christmas. It could just be that I can't stand redneck accents usually, or that I can't stand Patrick Swayze. Maybe if Patrick Swayze wasn't in it. I didn't laugh once in the movie. I laugh at anything stupid usually. If they had shown someones fingers getting smashed, I might have laughed. people's fingers getting smashed by accident always makes me laugh.
ninkii This movie was much better than I had expected it would be. The characters were actually developed! I was surprised to see each of the actors committed to being real characters as opposed to charicatures. It deals with real issues without making too much light of them and without making you depressed. I was delightfully surprised by this movie.
