It's not the crime, it's the cover-up. In small-town, hard-scrabble New Hampshire, foul-mouthed all-talk slacker John "Rugged" Rudgate fancies himself a criminal. When a local plumber stares him down at a pub, Rugged vows revenge, pouring brake fluid in the man's water supply. When the man dies from unrelated causes, Rugged and his side-kick, the even dimmer Jeff, try to cover up what they think i

Very Cool!!!
Powerful
Absolutely the worst movie.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
I could feel brain cells fleeing. Minutes of my life I'll never get back have been stolen from me. I'm from New Hampshire, I love & miss my home, but even looking at the scenery wasn't enough to continue watching. Oedipus would drive nails in his ears to keep from having to suffer from sensory input from this film. I remember watching Mr Deeds & feeling a mild discomfort- this was like an appendectomy with a can opener in a hay wagon. Honestly, the acting was adequate, the cinematography and technical execution was professional. The problem is: it's just not funny! It's like a stoned middle school a/v class tried to do something along the lines of Super Troopers meets Dumb & Dumber.
I rented this movie on accident and turned out to be a very good movie. i agree with what "scoochie9" commented about the movie. Different people have different tastes and this movie happens to fit just what i like. the comedy is pretty dry and also subtle, but at the same time there are so many minor details in the movie that are just straight up hilarious (when rugged first talks to the character of Ebon moss and he says "yeah right"). I do agree that the film had a lot of potential that it didn't capitalize on. I thought the characters could have been developed a bit more. i really liked the way they ended the movie. i recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of dry, clever comedy.
Small town quirky characters and absurd situations. Aaron Stanford's performance, "Rugged", reminds me somewhat of Steve Buscemi, sort of nervous, hot-tempered, puny, and swaggering.I agree with a previous comment that Paul Schneider's character does remind me of Will Ferrell.Not a lot happens in parts of this little movie, but that seems to reflect several independent films.I loved seeing the setting of New Hampshire, since I lived there for a year. The only thing that was missing was the authentic New Hampshire accents.
this movie could never have been made by Hollywood because they will never try something new. If you are sick of dumb and dumberer part 7 check this out. paul schneider was in all the real girsl with zooey deschanel and they are back showing they can act in any role because now they are playing quarreling brother and sister. I did not understand why they cast Stanford because comedy is not his thing but maybe they were not going for comedy with him. Paul Schneider is a riot. Fudah Freedlander is a riot. there is a lot to like but most of all it's DIFFERENT If you liked Fargo you will like this. if you like Bottle Rocket you will like this. If you need everything explained to you you will hate it.
