Review of Splinterheads (2009) by Zane U — 15 Jul 2009

I saw this months ago at SXSW and, while it has been too long to give it a thorough review, it was quite interesting as a sweet romantic comedy, which is the only real way that I can describe it although it by no means identifies with the Hollywood cliches that have come to define the genre.

Instead it's about a smart-ass loser who is ripped off by a carny con artist but instead of getting mad at her, becomes attracted to her reckless way of life. It's charming, what can I say. And despite not making a significant impression on me at SXSW, it is one that I have thought about off and on since then, which is a feat in and of itself.
