hidden gem!
I don't know how I missed this this movie.
What a film! It's like Office Space x Idiocracy x Falling Down x Natural Born Killers.
Yep. This was a good sleeper. Goldthwait has directed some good to great movies, except for Willow Creek (2013), which just reinforces the trope that it is impossible to make a good film about Bigfoot.
My favorite film of his is a very different vibe: Windy City Heat (2003). The first time you see it, you won't believe the whole film is an elaborate practical joke played on one guy, the "star," Perry Caravello, by his old comedian friends, who convince him he's been cast as the lead in a movie within the semi-documentary. Everybody else in the film, including some celebrities are *all* in on the joke, except him. Goldthwait both plays the fake director, as well as actually directs the actual film. He speaks through a megaphone the entire time. Funny as hell, and will need to be seen more than once, both to catch all the gold you missed the first time, and to watch after you do some research to convince yourself this guy is gullible and desperate enough to be a star that he never realizes it's all a ruse. Brilliant and barely seen, outside of a small cult following.
