go get...something else

Wow. Just Wow. I was blown away....at the horror of this bad movie. Clunky, crude, and lacking realism. So its artistic I guess. This piece of film festival crap had potential. Mercer our hero(?) steals a car to go tell the older brother he never knew about his moms death 8 months ago. starting off quirky and neat you kinda like it, but like a baby that just won't stop crying its cute but it drags on your nerves. Its a road trip movie in a stolen car, so you see a lot of driving and a oddball 19 year old having what looks like the worst trip of his life. His brother is a thief, liar, cheat, teenage pornographer, and con man. and in the process of finding him he does all those things too, sometimes to the same people.

like all teen movies you leave the world behind. don't think such questions as: Where did he get money? with no money how did he get food or gas? what the hell was he doing in Mexico? how did a 19 year old with no money or passport cross the border or book hotel rooms? where did the back pack come from? and if it was her's why was his moms ashes mysteriously in it. why was he not arrested after stealing the car, being found by its owner and disappearing from school and home?

if you like hipster crap this is the film you will love. Its bad camera work, clunky plot and hateable characters will warm your heart.
