Negative Positive
Title: If David Lynch had directed "Dennis the Menace"...
Review: ...it would resemble this blackly funny, twisted little road movie. In some ways a deadpan parody of classic 70's "road" movies like "Scarecrow" or "Vanishing Point", this story of a (rather odd)pre-pubescent lad in search of his "collect all the letters and win the grand prize" American Dream will have cult-movie types chortling and chuckling all the way through. Great cameos, including an even more demented than usual Jack "Eraserhead" Nance. What struck me as particularly amusing is the fact that most of the adults who encounter our obviously underage (and by the end of the film, one-eyed and foul-mouthed) driver in the course of his journey don't even seem to take notice of these characteristics (with the exception of one not-so-bright state trooper). A real hoot.
