With the exceptions of the performances by Richard Riehle & Jack O'Connell, this movie begs to be forgotten. The humor is thin and the writing is something that makes Ed Wood seem like a genius. The Wisconsin locations are attractive and somewhat well shot but that is not enough to get around the overall poor production value and a movie that was just painful to get through. All of this would be forgivable if not for the obvious shill review posted 1st, giving it a rating of 10/10. (Citizen Kane holds an 8.4) Good grief.

A few smiles in an otherwise rotten film
A Rare Indie
I wish more independent movies were like this. It's so rare to see a small movie take on action sequences and fight scenes and big ridiculous comedy. It reminded me of some of my favorite screwball comedies where anything can happen and it all somehow makes sense. It brought to mind Wes Anderson's BOTTLE ROCKET and the all time classic STRIPES.

Floyd McMasters (Will Blomker) and Stu Cutshaw (Mason Hill) are in the army at a shipping center. Due to a mix up they send a crate of fusion triggers to starving Malawi instead of food. They go AWOL and end up in Townville, Floyd's home town filled with bad memories and an ex-girlfriend. At this point the film continues as an inane comedy of errors and mishaps will Will Blomker at the center of a mayoral election with a Medal of Victory given to him by a dead man.
The film was old school funny with mishap after mishap.
