Girl’s OL: From what I watched and can remember (I must have been drunk when Guy was watching some of these, since I seem to not remember much), this movie was unique, interesting, and starred my favorite asteroid terrorist, Steve Buscemi.
Guy’s Review
I had no preconceived thoughts coming in to this movie. This is usually a good thing. This is this directors feature debut which also is interesting and a strong one I might add. The movie is about a former gambling addict (Steve Buscemi) that is struggling with is need for thrill that it gives him. He has scaled his gambling down to scratch ticket and is now working as an insurance agent. An opportunity arises where he can climb the ladder at his firm. He is paired up with an insurance agent (Romany Malco) to investigate a rear ending near the city of Las Vegas.
I have to say that the chemistry between Malco and Buscemi is amazing. They are really funny together and maybe, maybe Malco will move past his role in “The 40 Year Old Virgin”. The very funny Sarah Silverman also appears as Buscemi’s love interest who is obsessed with everything smiley face.
This is a road trip movie so the encounters are the most important thing here. We will meet a bunch of naked crazies wielding guns in the desert. A dude that has a fire suit on that will not stop burning for a couple of days. A stripper performing a lap-dance in a wheelchair and many other funny people.
I liked this movie. The directing was great, the writing was funny and the acting was spot on. I’m always happy when new directors find their voice straight away and I can see that this guy will make even more hilarious movies in the future.
Guy’s Rating: Finally a new comedy that actually made me laugh over and over again.
