    Super Quirky

    This movie has really likeable characters. Even the antagonists are likeable. Although unrealistic in its totality, the movie works and keeps the viewer engaged all the way to the end. It has an "indie" vibe all the way through, so expect it and enjoy it.

    Better Start Running has flavors from some of my favorite movies like Napoleon Dynamite, Little Miss Sunshine, Moonrise Kingdom, and even Kalifornia. If those are in your list of favorites, don't miss this movie!

    Karma

    While I found this movie mildly distracting from the sad remembrances of 9/11, I found it quite astounding that "grandpa" garrison referred to grandma as just another "hole" and he was really in "love" with Mary Linson. Yet, when he travels across the country to finally see his lost love, she doesn,t remember him - at all! He is devastated and we are supposed to understand his pain and feel his angst. Uh, no, how do you like being diminished and marginalized. To Mary, you were just another body part to satisfy her one night, just a notch on her bedpost. Aaahhh, life,s a b*tch that way, isn,t it?!

    nice example how to make a movie

    There has been made lots of roadtrip movies,and this one was just as unremarkable as the others,but it shows how to make a film on low budget,with a good storyline without glitter and glamour. its about an old disabled army veteran grandfather, his more or less related relative grandson, a totally lost girl with some adhd tendencies,and a young african american straycat that fusions into the group by incident.. there is a kill,so the law and fbi are doing their best to retain the fugitives. i like the way this film show the rural kind of usa,with dinoparks and other strange features popping up and flashes in your face wereever you are on the road. good filming and decent story, and a very nice jeremy irons for once. i think ''the straight story'' was great,and this one is a good addition to the folk-road-trip genre.

      Harley: You steal?

      Fitz Paradise: Did Robin Hood steal bread? Did Jesus steal the grace of God?

      Stephanie: So smart.

      Harley: ...But... They're little girls...

      Fitz Paradise: No, no, no, no. Look behind the curtain, Dorothy. Selling cookies is how corporate American turns little girls into capitalists. Teaching them how to capitalise on their youth in skimpy outfits to move product. Behind those multiracial, happy faces, there's a big patriarchal pimp turning out little girls, one by one. I steal to lift the weight of these boxes off of their backs - because I like the mint ones.
