Editorial Reviews

Country singer Dwight Yoakam is a co-producer of this Miramax comedy about marital infidelity among the Southern redneck set. Auto dealer Lonnie Earl (Billy Bob Thornton) and his wife, Darlene (Natasha Richardson), are best friends with good-natured Roy (Patrick Swayze) and his spitfire wife, Candy (Charlize Theron), who's ovulating and trying to become pregnant. When the quartet of Arkansas natives decides to take an SUV cross-country to a monster truck show in Reno, NV, an alarming secret is revealed: Lonnie Earl and Candy have been having an affair. The revelation comes as a shock to the guileless Roy and much put-upon Darlene, who absconds with her husband's credit cards for a spending spree that includes designer boutiques and a Tony Orlando concert. Meanwhile, Candy's quest to have a baby takes on a new dimension in light of her extracurricular activities with Lonnie Earl. Waking Up in Reno (2002) is based on a script by longtime screenwriting partners/actors Brent Briscoe and Mark Fauser, who also play supporting roles in the film. Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

January 16, 2005: I had never heard of the movie until I was surfing through the satellite and saw it. It is very funny, and the acting is awesome by all four actors, very believable!

April 29, 2004: This movie must have been a 'sleeper'. I had not heard of it and few video shops seemed to carry it. As a Patrick Swaye fan from way back, when I found a used copy at a video shop on DVD in a large city, I snapped it up and never stopped laughing! Billy Bob Thornton was also at his funniest and I love Charlize Theron, no matter what she is in.
