6.0Original, unique, bizarre, hilarious! * I love all the whacky and authentic and heartwarming characters from this movie. * I think it has a kind of bedroom pop vibe to it.

The American landscape is big and cool. * This movie is a brilliant example that art doesn't need a huge budget to transcend mediocrity.
