Very indie, very good: What starts out as a predictable premise, turns into a funny and oddly touching storyline. You really can't mock the mullet unless you've either a) had one, or b) grown up around them. The cultural accuracy in this film is frighteningly impressive; the director obviously has some strong mullet-related issues, both resolved and unresolved. The acting among the primary cast is good overall and the device of a fake-documentary-within-a-fake-documentary makes up for gaps in the quality of the filmmaking. A formidable debut for this first-time director.
Truly Hilarious!: A great peace of work from this first time director... Hopefully the Hollywood 'blockbuster' producing machine will stand up and take notice of (not to mention support) great movies like this being produced without multimillion dollar budgets and endless resources... good writing, directing, and acting MATTERS! Well worth your money!
I want a t-shirt that says " Bob and Jiffy Rawk": I happened to see this flick as it was going from Olympia to Portland. I brought along some of my rawkin' mullets crowned cousins but I don't think they found the same vein of humor I did in taking them there. I found it to be a very enjoyable movie. The writer and director has a good time with the culture of archaic man/trailer park mullet folk without getting too cynical; that's a very hard thing to do. There is a theme of redemption that began as revenge in this movie that I find to be a good reversal in any story. There is hope. Somewhere along the way, and especially my travels through Lacey, WA. and high-school I have encountered the very people that are portrayed not as freaks but as folk in this movie. I recommend it to friend who have crossed the threshhold from having sported the perticular proceptive plummage themselves and encourage the writer/director to keep up the good work!!
