This movie may not be #1 at the box office but it sure was a terrific
movie.
I think your average movie goer will enjoy the movie and the story line
behind it. The only people that will pick it apart are the supposed
'movie
critics' out there. (And I say movie critic with a lot of distaste behind
it.) The acting was great, the directing even better and the story line
was
interesting. I hope that this movie gets the exposure it deserves and the
chance for everyone who is a fan of Dirk Benedict to see it and make their
own decision.

This picture concerns the life of two men who have taken very different
paths in life. Boys who'd grown up together. Befriended each other in
childhood. (Harvey has a big heart). They had their first sexual
experience under the same car roof. One's married and trying to live a
normal life, the other can't succeed in having a normal life. Matt
comes to town after ten years away "at recess" in Alaska. His child, a
beautiful little girl falls in love with her Daddy (again). His oldest
dearest friend (Yeah, we broke a lot of hymens together) Harvey has
trouble remembering Matt's name at times. Matt has a strange effect on
Harvey's life. Harvey begins regressing. Regressing into something he
hates to think he is. Leaving his emotionally hungry wife alone, he
travels with Matt. He can't say "No" to Matt. They're what Matt calls
"Asshole Buddies" Matt draws trouble. Matt is trouble. Matt is a
drinker, a womanizer and a roustabout trying desperately to make up for
the fact that he's a flaming homosexual. Harvey finally realizes what
his old friend is up to when during a murder of a sexual pervert who's
"had" Matt at gunpoint. Matt then confesses to Harvey that he "sucked
and swallowed .. liked it too." Matt then crawls onto the hood of his
truck which he's deliberately planted on a railroad track. He howls
with all his might as he watches the train approach, gets plastered to
smithereens while his only friend in the world witnesses the whole
thing. The most effective part of this film is the end when Benedict
takes us back to their childhood and explains a bit. This film is worth
watching simply for the closing.
Plus Keith has written the song.

I just saw this movie at the Plzen Film Festival. I have to say that I
cannot figure out why it was made. The characters are one-dimensional, the
story is simplistic (not *always* a bad thing) and I cannot get to like or
even understand the characters behaviour. The character Matt is a weak
stereotype of what a bully is when he grows up. And the other male lead
would not just be so divided between his "real" life (a married architect)
and his "old" life (school friends, drinking etcetera). Not very well
planned. Same story might have worked, if told differently.
