This is a good movie. Entertaining through and through. It gives one hope in independent films, that is, true independent films, not ones pretending to be and, say, produced by someone famous but trying to be artistic. The Unknown Comic, Murray Langston, wrote and stars as a homeless guy who takes another newly homeless guy under his wing. Linda Blair co-stars as a journalist who writes a story from their perspective, hanging out, pretending to be homeless as well. The characters are good in this film, and there are many of them, and all have great lines and enough time to truly stand out. In other words, the side characters aren't merely prop-ups for the three leads. Even the bad guy is likable, and thus, realistic. I really recommend this film as an afternoon time-waster. It sure beats Mel Brooks' film -- which he'd make a few years later -- concerning the homeless called "Life Stinks", which does stink unlike this movie that I think you'll enjoy. I mean you'd have to be pretty grouchy not to laugh at some of the jokes, and, since this was written by Langston, a comedian, they come fast and furious, usually, 7 out of 10 times, hitting the right mark.
