Storyline

Duncan, a philosophical nomad hitchhiking across America, grabs a ride to Ann Arbor, Michigan from Toad - a performance artist and purple leisure slacks enthusiast from the suburbs. Toad has recently left his home town to begin a new life in Ann Arbor where his co-dependent, folk-singing sister Jenny lives with her verbally abusive fiancé, a law student named Calvin. Jenny currently sees a suicidal therapist four times a week and armed with her acoustic guitar, drives away patrons from a local coffee house where she slings cappuccinos with her best friend Squeeze. Squeeze is a closet genius whose easy-going outlook and unconditional support keep her live-in boyfriend Hank from the brink. Hank is a painter who can't paint because he spends his time baking delicious pastries and practicing for the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Quotes

Duncan: I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence; the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that ...

this movie was great
6 January 2004 | by (arcata, california) – See all my reviews

i actually liked this movie a lot. i thought, too, that some of its brilliance was in that the filmmakers threw out your normal expectations of films. the acting sucked. the direction sucked. but its not like they didn't know what they were doing.

doesn't it seem funny that a movie about how much it sucks to carry on in our normal fashion rejects the notion that acting has to be a certian way. and as is the point of the film, you just have to accept it, appreciate the questions more than you pursue the answers.

this movie is great. it's a real shame that it cannot be found almost anywhere. there is a lot to be learned. first and foremost, being part of life is a pleasure, not an accomplishment or an entitlement.
