It's a shame "Faux Paws" didn't have an advertising budget to gain more exposure because it really is a very funny movie. It's nominally about gay werewolves who break out of prison and their trek to Maine to be free, but it's really a film about freedom. It's witty and a lot of fun to watch the two main characters give and take, well acted in somewhat camp style by the two principals: the rest of the cast is also good. A lot of the film was shot on the road and much of the countryside is beautiful. It's apparent there wasn't a large budget to work with, but the film doesn't really suffer too much with the exception of one bit of makeup when one of the characters 'changes'. There's a lot to be said for small, independent movies like this one which are creative and well done, and I wish this one would get some word of mouth and notice because it deserves it. I think it would be a real crowd pleaser if it ever reached a wider audience.
