Hilarity in Hoosierville
Jensen Rufe's heartfelt documentary plays like it's an examination of what makes the perfect Indiana Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, and the film does do that. But it is also a valentine to the one-of-a-kind populace that make up the Hoosier state.
The charts the "quest" of two filmmakers searching for the perfect Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. Along the way they give some history on the sandwich and ask various regulars and employees at Indiana restaurants what makes the perfect Tenderloin. The place where they seem to find it is Mr. Dave's Restaurant, owned by the gregarious and cantankerous Dave Clapp. Clapp is the ideal character of Midwestern sensibilities and his personality will bring a smile to your face.
In the end, though, what makes this film special is the gentle and affectionate manner with which Rufe presents the material. These are not stereotypical country bumpkins. Rufe allows his subjects to show what Hoosier pride is all about. Hopefully, Rufe will continue to grow as a filmmaker, and more importantly that his films will show as much grace and dignity "Tenderloin" shows.
In Search of the Famous Hoosier Breaded Tenderloin ***1/2
