This movie coupled with the infamous interview on the David Letterman Show, has to go down as one of the all time funniest films. The story is suitably absurd (burying a dead cat miles away in the desert) but well within the bounds of 'mad cap' Crispin Glover's own persona and the 'out of his tree' character he plays. Sometimes you think there is something seriously wrong with this kid, though anyone who has viewed 'The Rivers Edge', will know what a unique and diverse talent he actually is. The 70's clothing, style and oddball coupling with an ultra conservative salesman, drives them both to the edge of sanity and then back to a realization of how the world really revolves. There are some delightful twists and turns (and a bundle of laughs) all the way through but also with a tinge of sadness (for two of the most hapless characters ever committed to film). Strange that in the end you are rooting for their success, as everyone loves the underdog.
