Coming in to this movie there are some things that you'd expect, and then there's what you really get. The Plot Outline says: "A story about two friends who travel cross country to attend a vigil for Kurt Cobain." Cobain's death actually is just a backdrop for the movie. The character of Jack is mostly interested in escaping the henchmen of a man whose wife he had sex with, and the character of Pilot is looking for the girl who is the only person he has connected with through his apparent sexual confusion.

According to Imdb this movie is rated R for "Rated R for strong sexuality, drug content, violence and language." The sexuality isn't really all that strong, and I can only recall one brief scene of nudity. The drug content is pervasive use of marijuana and some alcohol. For the most part everybody just acts stupidly. There is a fair amount of violence, but nobody dies. The language is like the violence - it's in there but nothing to get in a snit over. The acting was fair and the plot was mediocre. The movie wasn't a waste of time, but I wouldn't put any effort into seeing it again.
