The Great American Movie? Yes Indeed, 29 May 1999
10/10
Author: gordo-31 from Bryan, Texas

A movie that skips lightly between bright open plains and scuttling armadillos, dark bars, concert halls, and endless humor without breaking the soundtrack can only result in the dread brainlock. The only movie even close to this in spirit is "Get Crazy", which you probably won't see due to its open advocacy of psychoactive drugs.
