Fishing with Gandhi (1998)
A Big Surprise
I found this misplaced in the Drama section and instantly knew this would be funny. But I had no idea just how funny. One of the reasons may be that I understood it so well. It's not Southern Red Neck, but Northern CA/Oregon humor. Yes, we have little hideaways here that are homes to scores of Red Necks. And they talk just like the twins. I wouldn't compare it to Dumb and Dumber, it's the opposite. I instantly saw the Hamlet likeness as well and wondered if poor Hamlet should have sailed to Norway and hooked up with some out of work vikings? Danno is hitchhiking from Seattle where his mom just wed her brother-in-law. He is very upset and quiet when he gets a ride from the Twins. They ramble on and on and the truck keeps breaking down. ("at least it made it 20 miles this time instead of 2!") So, there is a lot of sitting around and eating what looks like gas station food. We also watch Danno's roommates at home who are pining about their own miserable way of life. We guess that Danno might have been just as whiny and petty. Giles was a bit forced but funny anyways. Danno finally makes it back with a different perspective on life and is surprised at his roommates' attitudes.
Oh and I rented this DVD and the audio was fine. Except when we were laughing too loud and had to review.
