comments:
Rites
of Passage is a thriller
about a group of
students from an
anthropology class run
by Professor Nash
(Stephen Dorff, back
slumming it) who are
invited to nerdy
Nathan's (Ryan Donowho)
family property, where
the Chumash Indians used
to live. They intend to
recreate the Chumash
ceremonies. Also invited
are Dani (Kate Maberly,
geez, is it really 20
years since The Secret
Garden), a part Chumash
girl who has major
mental issues and is
wild as all get out,
plus various jocks and
sorority girls
(Chronicle cutie Ashley
Hinshaw, Carly Schroeder
and Sharon Hinnendael
basically playing her
Look character, without
the copious nudity,
sadly). They are going
to party away the
weekend.
Living
on the property:
- Nathan's
ginseng-afflicted
brother (Wes Bentley,
um yeah...) who
desperately wants a
Chumash wife and
thinks he has one in
Penelope (Briana
Evigan) and then the
partially Chumash
Dani.
- Delgado
(Christian Slater, who
has to be seen to be
believed...), the
meth-huffing,
shotgun-toting
caretaker who talks to
a stuffed monkey toy
and tries to exact
revenge on the person
who killed his wife
and kid. That person
happens to be Dani!
Yes,
everyone wants 'hot
mess' Dani, people will
become drug-afflicted
and a fair portion will
die.
Man,
this is a B movie and
proud of it. It's
completely silly, but
also surprisingly fun to
watch. It never tries to
reach great heights, the
name actors are having a
lot of fun and the movie
has enough snappy
one-liners and bitchy or
drug-soaked dialogue
that makes it hard to
dismiss.
If
only it had a decent
amount of nudity from
the pretty girls, not
just plenty of bikini
action... Damn it.

Hinshaw.
Her butt in a thong is the
closes we get to nudity.
