Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

simplycharming_1-643-537145 Jessie is the epitome of a nice guy. He's the kind of dude whose girlfriend actually feels comfortable breaking up with him during sex. To combat those post-coital break up blues, Jessie gets his hands on a sheet acid that he shares with two college friends. His amigas have a major trip-fest, and sabotage his engine with adorable critters and "tittie beads" (as they were so eloquently termed by the character Paul). The modified car mechanics land Jessie stuck in a quaint little town in Mississippi en route to his hometown St. Louis. After befriending Paul and Luke, two local bumpkins, Jessie sets out on a quest to reach "Missoura" (pronounce it any other way, and you'll confuse residents). During his stay in the Southern non-destination, Jessie meets many colorful characters who all want to take a trip into Bake Town. Their drug facilitated fellowship with Jesus, glitter, paint, wine coolers, and sticks help Jessie find kinship in the most unexpected of places. His nice guy demeanor—and drug peddling—bring together a small, trailer park band of misfits. Clearly, being a nice guy isn't so bad.This indie movie was very funny. Not every line was a winner, but I found myself laughing and smiling more often than not. And, that's more than I can say for many of the larger budget films that find themselves produced by major movie companies each year. I loved the character Paul, played by a talented Michael Dardent. His Southern drawl, Aquiline nose, and easy going attitude really made him look like a dark- haired Matthew McConaughey. Or, was it just me? Regardless, his performance, along with Brent Phillip Henry (AKA Luke the Ultimate Fighter) was hilarious. There's definitely something there with this ensemble of cast and production team. I look forward to viewing their films in the future.

dolbydog-1 I actually loved this movie. It's not pretending to be anything except what it is - a low-budget film festival film (with some seriously impressive visual effects). Some of the acting is better than others (Michael Dardant and Shanna Forrestall are standouts), but it has the attitude of the early Broken Lizard films, something like "laugh, don't laugh, we don't care because we know we're funny." It's all paced really well and somehow goes nowhere very quickly. It's damn unpredictable and despite some archetypal character types I had no idea how they were going to wrap it up at the end.It's well worth your time. Even more so if you enjoyed doing drugs in college.

sjayjayw I was lucky enough to watch TPJ at the Tivoli in St Louis. I got to meet the director Sean Gerowin, and TPJ at the show. With a personal touch Sean told us that the movie was more or less a true story. He talked about TPG's And the rest of the cast's personal history, and their role in the movie. Many times I wanted to yell at the screen at the lead characters. For me a great movie makes me think and feel. I want to escape into the story, leave reality behind, only like good movies can do. And TPG does just that. I was surprised on how great the story was, all in all good acting. I was wrapped up in the story so much, I wanted to help Jesse myself. The whole experience left me wanting more.

znarfw I knew this was a recent entrant in a local film contest so I set my expectations at minimum. What a surprise! I was thoroughly entertained throughout. Some of the tripping did drag on but my curiosity kept me attentive.I found Jesse to be the most complete (and likable) character in the movie with the other players revealing just enough to define their roles in moving the plot forwards.While the constant invoking of Easy Rider invited comparison (New Orleans, LSD, and an ill-advised trip off the main road), this movie found the spirit and the spirituality in our common humanity.
