some movies are very good. others are very good, but only better. i'd have to say, based on seeing the movie, that the dirt bike kid is the ladder. peter billingsley showed his talent on the christmas story and then again on this movie he showed it again. this doesn't have any of those 'so called' fancy camera angles that other 'good movies' have. it has a real down to earth plot with down to earth actors.

I once had a friend tell me that Bottle Rocket was too simple for him. But in my opinion, the idea that it is simple is what makes it so complex. The humor that is used in this movie is some of the best I have ever seen in a movie. Not since Fargo have a watched and literally laughed out loud at the uniqueness and occasional stupidity of the characters. Bottle Rocket have everything ranging from the over anxious pre-thief Dignan too the child-like Bob Maplethorpe potential getaway driver. When I saw this movie for the first time I actually went out and bought it. Bottle Rocket is easily on my top 10 list.
