Oh, Crispin. You had me at "my cat can eat a whole watermelon."

A fun enough time but honestly not much more than a collection of quirks. Still, Crispin Glover is very good at playing a weirdo, and Howard Hesseman is very good at playing frustrated by a weirdo and also a weirdo

If you like Crispin Glover's eccentric excesses, you will probably like this movie. It's not spectacular, but is very likeable and entertaining if you can appreciate its weirdness.

When a desperate salesman figures an eccentric weirdo as an easy mark to drag to a bogus real estate seminar, the pair end up on an unlikely road trip to bury a frozen dead cat in the desert. Howard Hesseman and Crispin Glover are the ultimate odd couple in this bizarre indy comedy. There's really only a handful of good laughs to be had, but Glover is so intensely strange throughout that anyone who digs his schtick will be right at home.

Okay i probably just like campy oddball '80s weirdness way too much for my own good, because not only did i enjoy this but i could even convince myself that it had some genuine artistic/aesthetic merit. Really, it has some pretty bad, over-the-top silly humor, and as a whole never quite lives up to how great it seems for about the first 15 minutes, but still...

One of the lucky few to take a good dose and see this on 35mm in its original aspect ratio at a rare screening in a museum with a handful of people who mostly didn't know what they were getting themselves in for. Definitely the perfect way to experience this movie.There was a bar/artspace owner in Baltimore who was obsessed with this movie and turned me onto it originally,got to watch it on vhs with a drinking game and a lively group at that place.Also a good way to see it.AndyWarholsucksabigone

Fun characters, nice message, final stretch leaves something to be desired. Rubin reminds me a lot of someone I knew when I was younger who I miss and hope is doing okay.
