I have a bias for James Franco.
Just thought that I would throw that out there.
I only saw one preview for this movie. I think I was at home and only caught the end of it. Still, it intrigued me enough to actually look it up. I must say that in the beginning I was skeptical, but by the end, I was pleasantly surprised.
Sienna Miller is extremely underrated and hot. She plays Camille. She plays a positive Polly, one who only sees the good in life. She is somewhat naive, but I think that only makes her more attractive. However, James Franco, who plays Silas, her newly wed husband, thinks she is a bit of a chatty Kathy. Basically, they are polar opposites. Silas is a badass who has already had two strikes and is on parole. He is mostly into petty theft, but he manages to surprise you throughout the movie. Anyway, Camille wants to go to Niagra Falls for their honeymoon, but, being that Silas is on parole, he can’t leave the state. So, there is some conflict. Now we’ve got a movie.
While traveling in their sidecar, the couple hits a snag and wrecks when Camille drops her wedding ring. This is where the movie takes some seriously insane turns. Keep watching though. This story is really like nothing you have ever seen before.
I wouldn’t exactly tell you to set aside a Saturday night to watch this movie. Maybe, try to see it whenever you have time. It is pretty light and may not make sense, but that is what makes it great. Sienna Miller is gorgeous. Her and Franco speak in southern accents. David Carradine, from Kill Bill, plays Cowboy Bob. That says enough. You’ve got painted horses, neon colored wigs, a blurred reality between life and death, and a newly wed couple on their honeymoon running from the law. What more can I say?
It’s a short romantic comedy that might get a few laughs out of you. At least, it can show you a different way of looking at love and life.
