Trivia:
Bill Buell's dance during "Love Smiles" was choreographed on the spot by director Cory McAbee by shouting things like "show us your karate, Bill!" and "the birds are attacking, Bill!" moreQuotes:
Silver Miner: In the year 1902, we were just a bunch of silver miners, out there every day, diggin' in the dirt, uneducated, and humpin' on each other every chance we could. Hell, sometimes some of us good ol' boys would even be humpin' on each other. And it weren't like we were tryin' to be fancy. We just didn't know what the hell we were lookin' at, did we, John?Offscreen Voice: Yeah, we did.
Silver Miner: Ahh.

If you like the silly and/or absurd, see this film! It is definitely one of the most enjoyable things I have seen in quite a while.
Bon appetit.
P.S. If you can't suspend your disbelief and just have a good time with it, you will probably not like it.
