The Films of Judy Greer, Part One: Stricken (1998)

Yes, I likes me some Judy Greer. And we'll just leave it at that. So, after watching almost all of Jodie Foster's films (sorry Freaky Friday, maybe next time), I found myself in need of another Netflix mission, and here it is. We'll see how long it lasts, as Miss Greer has co-starred in some crapfests. But, they can't be any more boring than Anna and the King or Mesmerized, so I'll probably be a good sport about it and subject myself to some eye garbage.

Chronologically (according to Judy's IMDb page), we start with this low-budget horror/comedy mess, that co-stars Jamie Kennedy (post-Scream 2 but pre-Scream 3) and Sean Gunn, who is apparently someone I should have heard of. They all play weasely college students, eager to prank each other but unable to take any of the pranks themselves. One of their pranks goes too far, and a guy they all hate ends up dead. From what, it's hard to say, because the dude barely gets roughed up.

Greer plays the girlfriend of one of the dudes, and she inadvertently walks in on their middle-of-the-forest murder scenario, catching a shovel to the back of the skull so she won't "go to the cops, man." Of course, this is after she takes a nice, long shower, which was the highlight of the film for me.

It can only go uphill from here.
