The Motel Life- - At 'Dem Flicks with Malcolm

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

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.
"Alan and Gabe Polsky's film about two hobo brothers on the run labours with heroes who are neither sympathetic or interesting".
