I think the scores are a little to harsh. Yes, the movie is a mess in a lot of ways, but you can sense that Ruldoph was going for something potentially interesting (but just doesnt' really work). What makes the film fun is Emily Watson's constant mixing up of metaphors (her eccentricity). It's pretty hilarious.

Unwatchable. I was sick of it about five minutes into it. Unfunny at the excruitiatingly slow rate of 24fps, Trixie stars Emily Watson as a malapropism-spewing security guard who gets involved in a murder mystery that has a corrupt Senator (Nick Nolte) as the primary suspect. The dialogue is simply a string of jokes, some of them raided directly from Jack Handey and Yogi Berra. The plot is nearly incomprehensible. If I were the head of the MPAA, I'd rate it NC-117 so no one gets hurt.

This could be a whole lot better. The premise is fine, & Trixie's bent dialogue quite amusing, too bad the rest of the characters are somehow too stupid to make a straight center for the goofy stuff to play off. All the best comedies have a real element that makes the silly funny in contrast, since this is so unreal it becomes a movie about a bunch of stupid people with only the barest outlines of a plot & tempts us with a moral.
