Growing Hair

I saw this movie at the Atlanta ComiCon Film Festival and it is a very funny movie in the vein of Clerks. It has a lot of raunchy humor, but it is also a well told story. You really get involved in the lives of the three main characters and are invested in their stories.

Game Packmunh is the funniest character, in my opinion. He's hooked on video games, even going so far as to listen to their soundtracks in his car. His humor is punctated by the video game sounds that accompany his life. Truly inspired soundtrack work.

All three characters are played extremely well for a low-budget indie film. The actors really make what could be archetypes into well rounded, fun characters.

Spank's breakdown is especially priceless.

If I can say one thing negative about this piece, it's that the camera work leaves a little to be desired (it's shot on video, and you can tell). There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but it's not overly creative. There are some scenes where lighting is a problem, as well, but once the story takes place these minor details aren't that important. It's the script that's important, and it's truly hilarious.

If you get a chance to see this film, check it out.
