An unscrupulous female roadie seduces an innocent small-towner into taking a road trip down to New Orleans. Along the way they meet all sorts of crazy characters. You're probably thinking you've seen this movie before, but did that movie involve a coffin strapped on top of the car and the devil hot on the characters' trail? Maybe you still have, but this movie is worth watching.
There's a charming underground-indie-cult appeal to this movie -at least here in the upper Mid-West. It's campy but not ridiculous. Some will find the fact that Canadian actors play distinctly American characters annoying -I know I did- but I never lost interest. The female lead could've stood to be a bit foxier (shaving those arm-pits would be a start) and more in-your-face, but hey, she's Canadian. The male lead -who also wrote the movie- is brilliant. I don't want to be condescending to Canadians (I tease because I love) but this movie is nothing like anything else I've seen come out of Canada. Two thumbs up.
