Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

grameightball In response to the guy who does not know who John Doe is, just know that Roadside Prophets was a little labor of love for everybody involved, and wasn't ever intended to be a blockbuster, which is why it's a great little movie. John Doe is the bass player of the legendary LA band X, and has acted in many great little indie films WITH HIS FRIENDS, FOR FUN. In case you don't know, Adam Horowitz is AD-Rock of the Beastie Boys. Seeing these guys and Arlo Guthrie (Do you know HIM?), David Carradine and others in this midnight movie is purely a blast. Carradine's character especially is a treat, one of the many great cameos he's done in his long but now over career. Amen, Bro.

jazfingr-1 Not a bad film; it had a good story line and plot. The two leads do a good (not great) job acting. The writing is a bit weak, OK, it' downright bad. The cinematography is OK to good. The soundtrack is average.I wanted to like this film and the storyline kept me interested, "but" the secondary actors are terrible, there isn't a good one in the bunch. It's almost as if there were cue cards off camera. The direction is quite poor. Even Cusack's small roll seemed forced and ridiculous. They made the film difficult to watch.It was all I could do to give this movie a six star rating.

fractalmama42 I rented this movie years ago and have been hoping for a DVD release for years so I can show everyone I know how funny it is. There are so many wonderful cameos in this, too many to list, but mostly you are left with the performances of john doe and adam horovitz. They lead you on a journey we all go on inside ourselves especially while we grow up. Who the hell are we and what do we want from life? How much do the people in our lives mean to us and what would we do for them push come to shove? I know many would think that is too deep for this romp but then I suppose many people consider deuce bigelow real cinema. Anyway, I would recommend this to anyone who for one thing is a nut about music and wants to see some of their favs in a new light and for anyone else with a mind that wanders, take a wander with these roadside prophets.

djelvis2 As road trip movies go, it's subtle and (perhaps too) familiar. Joe (no last name) decides to honor a stranger's last request, and deliver his ashes to an oasis in Nevada. Along the way he discovers the citizens of Today's America: the rebels whose time has passed, the franchise minimum-wagers, the common people in their varying degrees of lunacy... As he drives farther and farther from his old life, the purpose of his trip morphs into a larger exploration of the journey that everyone makes, the journey of life... John Doe's "Joe" pulls off the everyman bit, the straight man for everyone else to prosletyze to and joke around. His only job in the movie seems to be the audience's advocate, reflecting their reactions to the strangeness in the desert. Adam Horowitz's "Sam" is more than the lively sidekick; he represents the end result of being raised in modern times. A pathological liar, a pyro and a lemming, he's the motherless child that considers every location of the Motel 9 franchise his home. Overall, the movie feels as staged as an above-average Afterschool Special. The cameos feel like stunts (Mike Tyson's appearance in CROCODILE DUNDEE IN LA was more believable) and the intentions are so clear from the beginning that the trip seems redundant. And the point? It would seem to be as Sir Edmund Hilary reasoned for climbing Everest; "because it's there."As a road trip, it's more a pleasant afternoon than the journey of a million miles. 5/10 stars
