An odd little movie, to be sure. I don’t think everyone will find this film to the his or her liking, but there was just enough humor, quirky fun, and good performances to pull this over the top in the end for me. Jack Black and Matthew McConaughey give fine performances in their roles, but the real stars of this movie are the Texas locals who bring a whole Home Depot paint department’s worth of “color” to the screen in the interspersed interview segments. Besides, I can’t really argue too strenuously against a Richard Linklater movie. Yeah, see it--just bring your most open mind to the proceedings.
