Go Further (2003)
6/10
Entertaining, although unfocused documentary

This isn't a bad film by any means, in fact, it's a pretty entertaining little flick. Unfortunately, it's unlikely to win over any converts to the environmental cause due to its somewhat goofy tone and unfocused, scattered narrative. Consequently, it's never quite able to really drive its point home, whatever that point may be beyond "go green". Basically, it's preaching to the converted.

On the positive side, this film makes for pretty entertaining viewing for the most part. I particularly enjoyed the musical interludes with various artists such as Bob Weir, String Cheese Incident etc. It was also a treat to see Ken Kesey in his natural habitat. I appreciated the passion and dedication of the participants to their cause, and their road trip made for pretty fun viewing for the most part.

On the negative side, I couldn't stand the annoying, goofy Steve guy, he was a pure-bred idiot. Watching his foolish antics was embarrassing, and I'm not sure why this nut with a severe charisma deficit was given so much screen time. In any event, if you can put up with his antics then you'll be able to sit through this movie with a minimum of annoyance.
