Sadly, this movie turned out to be pretty much unbearable, and I was forced to concede defeat when my mom and sister demanded to leave the theater, because it was just bad. The film tells a "three part" narrative of 3 seemingly unrelated groups of people, which I will relate as follows:
In Part One, a pea-brained, long haired redneck enlists the aid of his racist, obscenity-spouting friend (who happens to also be a tattooed midget with pierced nipples) to spy on his girlfriend, who has been "looking at cocks on the internet". They take the spying too far and accidentally shoot Ali, the girlfriend's online suitor, who they believe to be a terrorist. One major problem here is how looooong everything takes - while slow, "meaning-laced" words poignantly drift across the screen, to just.. allow us to ponder the gravity of this moment.
After over an hour of this, we finally get the news that Part Two is beginning. Yay.. an 8 year old orphan first accidentally eating pot brownies, becoming disillusioned and depressed over finding out the tooth fairy isn't real, and then discovering her uncle's tequila in the glove compartment and dives right in. I would comment on the rest of this and Part Three, but this is right about where we finally gave up and left.
This was probably one of the longest films at Sundance this year, and it was really not worth 2 hours of your life. It's just sad, depressing, squalid, and above all, drawn out to the point of boredom. Unfortunately cannot recommend this title.
