The Best Bar in America

There are those that knew what they wanted at a young age. There are others who learned as they went. This is a story about both of these groups, and neither of these groups, as well.

So often we are lead to believe that what we ask for is what we will get. This is a story about the journey being what is important, and coincidentally, its NOT what we will get. Indy production with a great amount of care taken for continiuity and set selection, Without the sound stage. The post production sound was excellent. All the way around, this is a great movie, told with all the things that make a movie worth watching. My hat goes off to the cast and crew for a job well done.

Had great potential but had unneed sex scenes. Should have stuck to the road and bar theme.

This is a fun movie and if you're old enough, a pretty good belly laugh regarding the whole Easy Rider thing.

My attachment to this movie is because of similar events in my life. Starting out my adult life in sales, I felt years later the need for "more" while owning at that time most of what I thought I needed to be happy. This movie will probably not connect with those who only have dreamed but never made the leap to living a cavalier bohemian lifestyle. For us who have, this is a reminder of the past and our initial move to make this happen and live more free while continually seeking "clarity". I found something that resonates with my spirit of freedom after shrugging off the constraints the typical American way dictates. If you are a biker, sailor, pilot of just a wanderer, this may be something you would enjoy.

I am no film expert. Watching lots of movies and shows does not make one an expert. The only way to do that is to study and make films. All that being said, this was a great movie. I found the trailer on Vimeo while searching for some motorcycle trip shorts and it had punch. I bought the film at that point. No shaky-cam or weird filters to take away from the story. The photography was brilliant, especially when it came to the "on the road" shots. They captured the expanse and beautiful desolation of the rural west. The writing and narrative was fun to listen to and made sense to the overall movie, not just that moment in the film. It was nice to see a film both have a message that is revealed finally, but to do so without blazing special effects or filters. The actors were genuine, and while some of them were rough or not well played, they did not detract from the main cast.

I enjoyed this movie, it was entertaining and really allowed me to put myself into the film. That is what I want from a movie - a 2 hour reprieve from normalcy. This is a movie I have recommended, and will continue to recommend.

Having participated in some film festivals (48 Hour Film Project 2010-2015) I have seen the back end and participated in making some films. Nothing to this quality.

Besides, it has motorcycles, bars, whiskey, women and the beautiful American west.
