Patti Rocks (1988)
Explore an entirely new sexual position... honesty.
It's Christmas time in the twin cities. Billy's working a lot of overtime, running barges on the Mississippi. He calls his friend Eddie, whom he hasn't seen in six months, and asks a favor: to drive with him to see his pregnant girlfriend, Patti, because Billy hasn't told her he's married and already has two children. The road trip of guy talk becomes a night of truths exchanged between men and women.

Interesting facts
Patti Rocks is a 1988 comedy film directed by David Burton Morris starring John Jenkins, Karen Landry, and Chris Mulkey.
Production
Patti Rocks was written as a sequel to the 1975 film Loose Ends, which was the directorial debut of husband-and-wife pair David Burton Morris and Victoria Wozniak. Loose Ends also starred Chris Mulkey and John Jenkins, both of whom would reprise their roles in Patti Rocks. The actors created approximately twenty hours of improvised dialogue, though Morris maintained to the press that the film was completely scripted.
The film was shot in two weeks in March 1987, in and around Minneapolis–Saint Paul, including such locations as the Rock Island Swing Bridge.
The film was made for a budget of $350,000 (equivalent to $990,000 in 2025).
