Plot: A comedy about a famous author stealing a teenage writer's novella and publishing it.
Starring: Michael Angarano, Jemaine Clement, Jennifer Coolidge, Sam Rockwell, Mike White.
Review: Awkwardly hilarious, and I mean that in a good way. This movie made me laugh the same way Napoleon Dynamite did, out of nowhere and at the oddest moments. I love that. This movie was so original. The fact that it's an Indie film really worked with the script instead of against it. The B-movie quality of the special effects helped sell the comedy. Getting Sam Rockwell to play such a small role in an Indie film where he couldn’t be bought off with a fat paycheck, really speaks to how good the writing is. The movie within a movie is what sent it over the edge. The audience actually gets to see both the original story by the boy and how the author changes a few things and robs it of its meaning. It was funny, odd, original, and one of the few independent films I've seen with a happy ending. Be prepared for this odd brand of funny before you watch it, however. Pop in Napoleon Dynamite or The Weatherman to get you into that weird mindset if that helps. If you're into sci fi, trannies, Alan Rickman's accent, or just want to see a unique, funny movie, then Gentleman Broncos is for you.
