Gentlemen Broncos (2009)
Jared Hess adds to his collection of off beat, odd ball comedies with film about a home schooled teenager who has his sci-fi novel plagiarised by his favourite author. If you enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite there is a lot in common with this film in terms of tone and style as well as a similar title sequence which this time involves sci-fi novel covers instead of different plates of food.
As you might expect there is plenty of general strangeness and weird behaviour from the characters. The dramatised portions of the main characters novel are especially surreal with flying deer and testicle theft. While there is nothing really great about this film it does bubble along well enough to be watch-able and there are some funny moments.
Probably one for only those that really love Hess's work to seek out but not bad 3/5
