Border of Dreams . . .

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2015)

. . . could be the subtitle for McFARLAND USA. Disney's actual name for this film probably is meant to be ironic, as is the character's name played by America's favorite FIELD OF DREAMS "jock flick" actor, Kevin Costner ("Mr. White," a.k.a., "Senor Blanco" here). McFARLAND USA documents that as far back as the 1900s there were parts of America which spoke Mexican, ate Mexican, drank Mexican, worked Mexican, played Mexican, drove Mexican, partied Mexican, fought Mexican, ran Mexican, and were flagged Mexican. Since then this situation has been greatly magnified, so viewers of McFARLAND USA won't be able to avoid realizing the obvious solution. The sooner the better, the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, and Oklahoma MUST be spun off as a separate country. This six-state area could be called "Sunnyside." Cross country running could be Sunnyside's national pastime. On Sunnyside's initial Independence Day, ALL residents of these half dozen states would become charter members (that is, legal citizens) of Sunnyside. No muss, no fuss. What's not to love?
