Freakin hilarious!
Excellent movie...I can't believe I hadn't heard about it before seeing it on the Hollywood Video shelf. I particularly loved the commentary about southern "hospitality." The characters were very interesting and I think flashbacks were done perfectly...particularly with the big guy. Rip Torn's speech at the magic forest just tore me up inside. It was kind of a downer for the rest of the film. We've got to fight for our rights y'all!
IMO, this director is hot on the heels of Wes Anderson...this movie had a definite Bottle Rocket feel to it. Keep it up, I'll be watching for your next one!!
