Running On Empty

Rated: PG-13

Starring: River Phoenix, Judd Hirsch, Christine Lahti, Martha Plimpton and Jonas Abry

Summary: This film is the story of the Pope family. The Popes aren't like a 'normal' family, instead they are constantly on the move and constantly lying about themselves because they are running from the F.B.I. for a crime that Arthur and Annie (Judd and Christine) commited in 1971. Their son, Danny (River) was born the next year. And years later, they had another son, Harry. At age 17, Danny is sick of running, especially after he meets Lorna (Martha) and the two of them start a relationship, but it's based on lies.

Comments:
+This movie is SOOO excellant, we can't even tell you how great it is!.
-Our only complaint is that Lorna is an extremely annoying character.

"Who do you think you are, General Patton?" - Danny.

MEMORABLE PHOENIX MOMENTS

<>River looks EXTREMELY GOOD in this film. He's TOTALLY on top of what he's doing.
<>When River had to say the above quote, he had to ask who General Patton was.
<>River got extremely mad at co-star Christine Lahti when she drank a Diet Coke on the set.
