Harpo had the Hollywood fringes figured out 30 years ago: the only thing we ever see of most aspiring actors is their commercial spot on the screen. That's exactly what life is like for Jon Favreau's character John Person. But unlike Harpo's "Movie Star", Person knows he's not going to walk the walk of fame anytime soon. To make ends meet, he lets his nutty neighbor talk him into a supposedly low-profile, yet suspiciously well-paid courier job. Person heads for Baker, California, to drop off a mysterious blue suitcase, leaving his girlfriend Grace (Joey Lauren Adams) behind in LA. As the plot thickens, Grace follows him to the desert to save the day. Or what's left of it: a clandestine coalition of crazy cowboys and blue-clad aliens taking shape. But ain't it good to have Joey Lauren Adams back, even in a small part? Despite a few indie credits, she's been painfully absent from the big screen since her defining moment as lesbian comic book artist Alyssa Jones in "Chasing Amy". Her squeaky voice is so cute I'd keep her as a pet if I could. But that's against the law I guess, even in California. Guest appearance by Gary Farmer, of "Dead Man" fame, as Indian Bob.
