USA, 82 min.

"More psychedelic fun than a barrel of monkeys on mushrooms! Details Magazine

Quotable, hilarious, and, yes, even moving, writer-director Trent Harris' buddy picture like no other yearns for an audience and cult-classic status. Like, immediately. Film Comment, Film Society at Lincoln Center

No reasonable person could deny the genius of any movie involving two republicans, bellbottoms, a water-skiing cat, a pyramid scheme, Mahler and a squeak-mouse. Bamboozled

A real-estate salesman (Howard Hesseman) and a hippie (Crispin Glover) hit the road on a mission to bury a frozen cat in the desert.

What could go wrong?

"I definitely enjoyed the weirdness and quirkiness of the movie... but... jeez, even for a person who enjoys weirdness and quirkiness like me, even for me this movie was pushing my limits. I thought that the non-desert scenes were MUCH better than the desert scenes. Unfortunately, the desert scenes make up the majority of the movie. For people who enjoy odd movies, I'd recommend that they watch this movie, but I'd tell them to hit the pause button and take a few breaks in the middle. It's a very fun and interesting movie, but it gets to be a bit too much for one sitting. Seriously, this is the weirdest movie ever. IMDB user garbuhj'
