Good premise, funny flick in the "road show" genre.
14 August 2000
This witty reverse road show tale ("On-the-Road-to-Let-me-Out-of-L.A.")puts an engaging comedic slant on the well-worn industry-weary angst of trying to "make it" on the L.A. entertainment scene. Charles Klausmeyer as the "thoroughly-fed-up-with Tinseltown" Joe Kasko plays his exasperation to the hilt...the problem is, he finds getting out of L.A. (with sidekick Brad, played to the rafters by Jamie Kennedy)to be more exaspertaing than staying, as every circumstance holds him back. Gabriella Lamiel (as the enticing love interest, Taylor)almost proves to be the circumstance that keeps the seriously cynical Joe from fulfilling his crusade to abandon the despair & disappointment of the treacherous L.A. grind by traveling to the remote native Indian community of "Flin-Flon" in remote Canada. Shot entirely in a quirky, documentary style, this film, with its well-directed, multiple changes of scene, pace & tone,(and a less-than-predictable-ending)holds your interest and most importantly....it's funny.
