Summary: Thirteen-year-old Ernest Chin lives and works at a sleazy hourly-rate motel on a strip of desolate suburban bi-way. Misunderstood by his family and blindly careening into puberty, Ernest befriends Sam Kim, a self-destructive yet charismatic Korean American man who has checked in. Sam teaches the fatherless boy all the rites of manhood. (Palm Pictures)

"Like Jared Hess before him, director Michael Kang is the new kid on the block who wants to play inside Wes Anderson's clubhouse." - Nick Schager

The life wandering in and around a motel is quite often of the atypical mysterious unconventional what-the-hell was that kind-- which is why I enjoyed this movie so much. It also brought back the pure mind-bending torture and confounding bewilderment of surviving the age of 13.

This movie was really adorable and odd, and I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
