Synopsis:
Indie film bullshittery.

Review:
Emile Hirsch and Steven Dorff play a couple of absolute loser brothers.  One's not all there, mentally and physically.  The other is a pussy alcoholic.  Steven spends the entire movie convincing Emile to work up the nerve to fuck the hot chick (Dakota Fanning) in town, because that decision's a real goddamn struggle for idiotic reasons which must be drug out for ninety agonizing minutes.  Kris Kristofferson has a cameo as an old, leathery man.  Although, that could just have just been him wandering on set one day and them letting the cameras roll.

Verdict:
I'll let another reviewer sum it up.
