Fishing with Gandhi

This film has quickly become one of my top 3. Sure, it's filmed where I live, but the dialoge (when you can hear it--the sound quality's not great) is a crack-up throughout and the casual pace of the movie makes it fan-double-tastic. Up there with Clerks. Watch it a few times if you don't think you caught everything because it. is. worth. it. In response to a previous comment, the "rednecks" don't "torment" Danno, they help him re-evaluate his priorities and take a lighter-hearted approach to life. I think I'm going to have a sweatshirt made that quotes something from this movie...maybe "I'm your brother...Ghandi loves everybody" or "upside-down blood fountain." Very highly recommended!

This is laugh out loud funny. It is Sling Blade meets Dumb and Dumber, think about that for awhile. The twins in this movie are incredible and their subjects of conversation are beyond belief. Of course, this is a rather low budget film and sometimes the audio is less than perfect, which is sad, because you really want to hear all of the brilliant lines being spoken. This movie details the adventures of Dan who is returning from Oregon, where he has just attended a wedding, his mother marrying his uncle. Dan is given a ride back to California by two brothers that are, let's just say, "touched." The rest is for you to enjoy. This is not rocket science, just good fun.

This is one of the funniest character comedies I've ever seen. It's obviously a low-budget film with minimal plot but offers original humor you just can't find in Hollywood movies. The Reichmuth brothers especially are brilliant, portraying central California's unique brand of yokel. Meanwhile, the San Francisco based characters resonate perfectly, using humor to target the neuroses of post-collegiate city life.

I saw it at a San Francisco film festival, and the place was breaking up. See it if you can find it.

I saw the trailer for this movie and thought it would be hilarious, but BOY was I disappointed. I can see how it was SUPPOSED to be funny, but the entire plot was about how two incredibly stupid redneck brothers saw the world and tormented a poor hitch hiker who was returning from his mother's wedding to his uncle, only 6 months after his father had died. Maybe I would have "gotten it" a little better if the sound was consistent, but the whole thing to me sounded like a bunch of nonsensical redneck grumbling. What a waste of a film.
