With his girlfriend pregnant, Dante, a pacifist hippie is struggling to make ends meet with his lip balm business. After finding a mysterious flyer for a Birthday Clown Wanted, Dante calls the number and heads to his first gig as a clown.  At the Birthday Party he meets a female clown named, Pele who invites him to join her Pity Party and perform at an underground rave. At the rave, Pele and Dante meet many shady characters. One of them is Newt, who hires them to drive drugs from LA to Las Vegas for him. It's supposed to be a quick journey back and fourth for ten thousand dollars a piece. The amount of money is just enough for the two clowns to take him up on the work. After returning from their drug run, Dante and Pele soon realize that they have become framed for murder. Dante, with the thought of his baby about to be born, sets out on the most dangerous journey of his life to attempt to prove his innocence. Will he make it back in time for the birth of his baby or will he become consumed by the darkness that he has allowed himself to become surrounded by?

    Annoying Small Movie

    Didnt know what to expect and I like it that way so I can form my own opinion. Basically it's about a failed hippie (if there are still hippies these days, more like slackers) CBD product maker who works as a clown to get some dough.

    He meets another bad clown and gets tangled up in a crime.

    It's stupid.

    First of all, the person who did the clown makeup needs to find aother job. Both of the clowns have the worst face make up I've ever seen. The dude doesnt even bother to shave his stubble. The white make up is just put over his beard! It looks ridiculous. Now you might say that's the point, but it doesnt work.

    Roughly 25-30 minutes into this it gets a bit better when the crime aspect comes in, but getting there was a chore and maybe not worth it to a lot of people.

    And that's the rub. I don't know who this appeals to since none of the characters are believeable or liekable and the movie is so slow you want to go to sleep.

    BTW, Pinchinot is unrecognizable. He's like morbidly obese now.

    In the end, the movie is far more annoying than entertaining.

    If you're into crime dramas you'll like it...

    ...not too much of 'romance'. With just 2 conflicting reviews (both correct though) I had to watch myself, and eventually write this..

    The good: nice to see (relatively) new actors on screen, playing well (enough) to keep you watching.

    You feel with the characters.

    The bad: the write-up...boy did that drag and missed opportunities for juust a biit moore twists and turns in a script? Or just make a film shorter if no ideas?

    So, if you start watching and make it through the first 30-45min you just need to keep watching, it gets you somehow. And the end is important and has a twist.

    Nuf said. And a little final wish - please more Clown movies (with maybe even a bit more Clowing)
