Everytime I see a film with Heath Ledger in it, it makes me sad. He transformed himself in every role.
The story has been told before in documentary form, but this was a bit more dramatic a take as no one needed to rely on old 8mm footage, television interviews or faded memories. They could just make it what they wanted. Great cast of young actors, many who have been seen in plenty since.
And bravo to the make up artist for Rebecca DeMornay. It takes some real talent to make her look that bad.

The film follows the surf and skateboarding trends that originated in Venice, California during the 1970′s.
Do you ever wish you could just steal a car and go on a cross country road trip and the person who owned the car seemed pretty much ok with it?
In this film a young man whose mother dies decides to search out the long lost half brother he barely knew to let him know. So he steals a car at a car wash and starts on a journey to his brother’s last know address. While on the drive he is called by the owner of the car and she often keeps him company while on the journey.
This is a small slow indy film that never drags. The characters are interesting, the scenery is great, and each scene leaves you wanting to know what will happen next.
I would recommend this. Great soundtrack.
