Starring Marla Sokoloff, Jennifer Tilly, and Monika Schnarre. Rating unavailable.

Deluxe Combo Platter represents a career low for almost everyone involved in this sorry exercise in greasy-spoon filmmaking. Alternately mawkish, silly, and trite, this trayful of cinematic leftovers just may have the worst script (by Brigitte Talevski) of anything you'll pay good money to digest this summer.

An artificially overweight Marla Sokoloff, that lippy secretary from The Practice, plays Eve Stuckley, a small-town gal trying to get noticed by a local stud muffin (Barry Watson) who, frankly, doesn't seem much of a catch.

Monika Schnarre, who shouldn't quit her day job, is dreadful as a real-estate developer with sapphic inclinations, although she's not nearly as grating as Jennifer Tilly, playing a (gasp) dumb waitress with an over-the-top southern accent and a heart of pure hairspray. Dave Thomas embarrasses himself as her roughneck boyfriend.

Some of the interplay between Sokoloff and Watson is kind of sweet, in an obvious sort of way, although it's hard to grasp what she sees in this standard-issue jock or what her fixation has to do with self-empowerment. Despite the obvious padding-in both senses of the word-the diminutive American doesn't come off that poorly overall; you can tell that DOP-and-director Vic Sarin is at least letting her spread her acting wings here.

It's nice to find Squamish locations used as themselves instead of subbing for some far-off place. But, hell, even with the price of gas these days, you'd be better off just driving up there and buying a burger.
