Format:DVD
I've been wanting to see this film for a while and finally managed to get a copy. Silly plot involving a stolen synth and a rag taggle bunch of ' misfits including Rory 'Speedle from CSI Miami' Cochrane, Beck, Beth Orton and Hank Williams III. Cheap and cheesey definitely but a great soundtrack and a charm that's lacking in a lot of films these days.

My reason for wanting to have this movie and wanting to see it, is that Hank Williams III is in it. I have seen the movie 3 times now and I think it has much of the 70's in it. It gives me a feeling like how things in the 70's were. The part with Hank III is great, I love the part where there is the car wreck place where he has a machine looking like a dinosaurus/dragon and the song he sings there, Alone & Dying.

with Beck, Beth Orton, Hank III, Elliott Smith
24 Oct 2003
Format:DVD
What a fun film. Worth checking out for the musical performances of some of the greatest artists of today, but you get a whole lot more than that.
Rory Cochrane is great as the lead, plays it real cool as Chance, a down and out musician. When he acquires the '69 Moletron, a super rare synthesizer, it lands him the gig and the girl (Beth Orton). But the Moletron gets stolen, and Chance is determined to get it back.
Chance and his seedy pal Ross Angeles chase the synth around LA through the buy/sell rag, The Southlander, and encounter all sorts of LA weirdos, including the unstable defunct funk star Motherchild (Lawrence Hilton Jacobs), Beck, who leads them to a bizarre technology bonfire pit, the menacing junkyard man (Hank Williams III) and a whole slew of others. The recently deceased and dearly departed Elliott Smith has a brief cameo, and contributed 2 previously unreleased songs for the film.
Director Steve Hanft's specialty is in music video (he directed Beck's Loser video), and the production reflects his talent. The musical performances are brilliant and touching.
The extras are fabulous as well. The more I watch it the more I love it!

The Money...It's Dope AAA++++
10 Dec 2003
Format:DVD
What a great original movie! Also, hilarious!!And the music is awesome! This movie has so many different moments.Have watched this movie hundreds of times because it reminds me of me and my friends. It is just like reality in my life. It keeps a great pace. Rory Cochrane plays a cool slacker dude looking for his '69 moletron. He and others get hosed by the wierded out LA crowd, looking for the moletron. It is the money, dudes! So many different music artists. I highly recommend to all that like good alternate music and original independent films. Way to go Steve and Ross who both wrote and directed the film. Ross' music can also be heard throughout the movie.
Peace
