    Funny, well-written film.
    This is a film that easily could have been nothing but a series of cliches. It concerns a "slacker" (Lyn Vaus) whose sole material possession is a digital video camera, with which he attempting to film some sort of documentary. All he winds up doing is going to parties and sticking it in people's faces, but he dreams of traveling the Pan-American Highway to the southern tip of South America.

    Somehow, it all comes together into a funny and occasionally touching film. The writing manages to avoid most of the early-90s "slacker" cliches and sucks you into the slightly off-kilter storyline. Definitely worth seeing if you get a chance.
