Review of Chillicothe (1999) by Chip G — 09 Jul 2008

A very entertaining, funny movie that made it to the Sundance Film Festival, but is relatively unknown.

This is an excellent coming-of-age movie. It has been called a "chick flick for guys". One of the most hilarious scenes is at the beginning of the film showing average joes like you and me gawking at goddesses as they walk by, knowing that they will never meet one of them for real.

Also, another great scene of two friends vowing that "...they are going to make some action, meet some girls, go on dates, etc...." Just then, a convertible pulls up with some pretty good-looking babes who state that they are new in town, don't know anyone, and can you tell me how to find the such-and-such? Our two heroes go semi-mute with dumb looks on their faces and proceed to give the girls the directions, which was obviously not really what they were interested in. As the women drive off, never to be seen again, one guy says to the other: "I don't even want to talk about it!".
