Quotes:
Louise Watson: I'm going on tour this year until I get a record contract, then I'm going to make a video. Then they're going to make a video of us and we're going to be famous. Then Mommy's going to come back and live with us. And when I grow up I'm going to do solo projects and get married to someone famous but I'm not sure who exactly.
Mr. Skin (A.K.A. Satan): Who told you all this?
Louise Watson: My Daddy.
Mr. Skin a.k.a. Satan: You're Daddy's lying. None of this is going to happen. You know why? Because you're ugly. I'm sorry to say it, but you're an ugly little girl. Just ask anyone.

A hilarious and fun road movie with classic scenes!, 15 August 1999
10/10
Author: OJT from Norway

Surprisingly had only two written comments on this film, and then I can't help myself - This film has got some scenes which you'll never forget. A road movie with everything you want from one of it's kind. it all starts off when a local Canadian barber one morning is asked by a strange woman if he can drive her and her dead brother down into the U.S. -

But is it her dead brother??? On the way they meet all kinds of strange people. This film contains so much - like the most fantastic bingo-scene in film ever, and what about indoor chicken hunt with guns, or the dream of having U2 to play in your wedding! Don't miss it! The best Canadian film I ever saw!
