Severe comedy

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2007)

Of course, I laughed during the movie, but in general, it was so sad and disgusting I could hardly believe that this is a comedy. Full set of social problems is represented! 6 marginal persons in an old collapsing VW ride trough the USA to the beauty contest. And what about an applicant? Who of them? Oh, it's that odious girl with glasses and prominent stomach! And her super-cool friends! Epileptic emo-colorblind, unsuccessful suicide-gay, father-typical loser, frustrated mother, grandpa - sex-maniac. The movie shows cruel reality about country-folks and this is truly sad. I thought about this topic for the umpteenth time. Why exists so enormous contrast between people from different parts of one state? I suppose, in Russia we have even worse situation. If nothing will be changed, 50% of Russian population will be living in Moscow. This movie makes you laugh during it and makes you sad after-wards.
