its a young man that rolls of with his fancy automobile, but is low on the bucks. get suddenly in touch with an elderly man, that can offer him both dough and immidiate entertainment, for a hat full of money to pay for the food, the motel and the gasoline. everyone they meet on the lonesome road get kicked and verbally harrased in a way youll never seen since john candy hit the road with his wisconsin ompa-ompa brass band. will they get there youll find out if you see it.
well productionwise there are quite a few upliftersa, very nice photo-/filmography, it has the all american musical style, and the good timeline info. the actors are basicly the b-side and second hand of the farmers league, but that doesnt nescesarilly mean its bad, its just the same all over, in a slow turtle ride towards the ziel-banner.
it has heart and humour, its full of love and life , so either youre a hillbilly redneck or a white collared banker, youll like this , its all american branded from a-z (or å in my language). the grumpy old man nods to this recommend
That being said, certain movies strike me in a way that I feel I should at the very least try to point out that a brilliant movie exists. Just in case. This is one such movie, one that assuredly not everyone will like, but for those who do enjoy movies like this, I pray you are as moved as I.
It's basically a slow, beautifully shot, brilliantly acted story about two men 40 years apart who bond in a most beautiful way. But it's so much more than that. In fact, it's not a great movie, but a testament to life, and all the things that we could learn if we only opened the door.
The chemistry between Howard and Worth seems like a long time friendship. I don't know if it is (or was in this case. May you find great happiness Rance) but the warmth is there. And since Michael wrote and directed, his dialogue is truly him.
I cried, I laughed and most of all was plugged in to the entire movie. If it were to ask me "ya feel me man" I would instantly say "yeah....I feel ya".
