...little gems of the movie are what make it shine. A "Dawson's Creek"-esque subplot gleefully proves more graphic than anything that you'd ever see on the WB, while a fat lawyer, and the town gigolo named Skank, whose promiscuous sexual nature seems to make its way around the tiny town more than once, heat up all the chilly proceedings. A pair of cute little blond kids with potty mouths like you've never heard, the star of the hockey team, who is on trial for shooting a guy from New York City and cameos by some very...

His band of yuk-ups consists of a jolly redneck Billy Bob, a Casanova with a strategically placed cowboy hat, and a black running back who's only purpose, it seems, is to fulfill a hopelessly contrived racism subplot. Throw in a dash of T & A, a pinch of pecs, the trampy, whipped cream bikini-wearing blond cheerleader and bring to a simmer in a cauldron of frothy beer...
