Plot: In this lively road picture, four Canadian lads in their early '20s go for a cross-country jaunt in a 1966 Corvair to have one last great adventure. Their lark leads them to the U.S. badlands. While cruising through a particularly desolate region, the Corvair breaks down. Desperately needing a particular part, the four disparate youths decide to separate and later return. Curt, the car's owner, elects to remain behind to guard the vehicle. He ends up cornered by a poetic quasi-philosophical fellow who fancies himself a modern-day Jack Kerouac. Drew, the sensitive one, gets lucky right off the bat. No sooner does he begin hitchhiking than he is picked up by his former high-school gym teacher who is on vacation with his family. Unfortunately, Drew hated his gym teacher and quickly comes to equally despise the teacher's fat and doltish son. Pistol-packing, macho Al ends up taking advantage of an auto garage robbery in progress. Martin lands at a redneck bar where the patrons mistake him for Ferris Bueller. Naturally Martin tries to tell them that he is neither the character nor actor Matthew Broderick who played Ferris, but the beer drinking good-ol' boys refuse to believe him and spend their time goading him into making humorous remarks. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

I've seen better made x flicks. This movie has nothing to do with quality beer. An little to do with america. there might be some cult connection with it some where or how but other then that just don't wast your time or money.

NOT the documentary
Added 3/10/2005
This is NOT the documentary about the American craft brewing industry. That film is being released on DVD on March 29th and can be purchased initially on www.sixhundred.com.

Avoid this Film

I, too, made the mistake of viewing this film. I really wanted the documentary about the guys that traveled America and visited 38 microbreweries in 40 days. THAT DVD is supposed to be made available early in 2005. Be sure you don't get this other stupid flick by mistake.

If you're looking for the documentary about brewing in the US, this IS NOT it. This is a very, very crappy movie about some canadian guys whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere in America, and they all have to split up to find an alternator. This movie sucks. Anyone know where I can get the documentary?
