I just saw a screening of Anywhere USA at Sundance. I was impressed. I thought I might be witnessing a train wreck since only one cast member is a professional actor. However, I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The story is told in three parts. Each part loosely tied together with the previous one. The first part tells the story of a guy who believes that a jihad is about to take place in his town because he found a pistachio under his girlfriend's couch cushion. With the help of "little Rickey" his (3'4" friend), they take action because according to Rickey..."the pistachio is the official nut of the jihad".
The second part tells the story of Pearl who eats a bunch of pot brownies, runs away from her uncle, and tries to find Jonathan Lucas...who she believes is the Tooth Fairy. (This was my favorite segment) The third part shows one man's quest to find a black friend, because he realizes one day at dinner that he doesn't know any black people.
I've seen lots of films at Sundance over the years, but this one is one to remember. Well Done!!!
