This movie didn’t work for me, and I think the main reason is because it’s set up as a zany comedy, and then for most of the movie the women are faced with trying to cover up the murder of an innocent male stripper. Despite this hardship, it manages to be amusing throughout. We spent a goodly amount of time curiously dissecting what didn’t work.
Cost: $1.50 from Redbox

Benny narrates this, and Benny isn’t the greatest of guys. But he’s the kind of guy you probably should like less, but don’t. Here’s a quote: “I arrived in Bozeman after the place that came after Animas, was thinking I would stay forever—thinking I would finally stop what I’ve been doing and be someone, thinking this place was really me.”
Bozeman is going well, sort of, until he goes on a backpacking trip with some friends. The story is structured so that I felt equally sorry for everyone on the trip, and also happy to see Benny get what is coming to him.
There were fun class/income observations also. Nicely done, Shawn Vestal.
