When legendary singer Gram Parsons dies, Kaufman steals the body to keep his promise to make Joshua Tree Gram's final resting place. Chased by the cops, Gram's father and Gram's psycho ex-girlfriend, Betty (Christina Applegate), Kaufman embarks on a darkly comic adventure deep into the desert. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
An amateur version of The Body Snatchers, a funeral eight-cylinder Cadillac Flower Power, and a journey to fulfill a promise that justifies the goal. While the self-destructive Knoxville and the hippie Shannon with an endless list of tried drugs compete for top positions (albeit in different leagues), Marley Shelton doesn’t quite fit in. As a comedy, it doesn’t work very well, but the last few minutes eventually clear the path to catharsis. Springsteen fit in perfectly; they could have spread that song throughout the entire film. "And I'll keep movin' through the dark, with you in my heart, my blood brother..."
