Fun little movie

This movie provided me with something not many movies have been providing lately: A good time. This is the kind of quirky, edgy, but ultimately warm hearted independent movie that I grew up watching, long before the Neil LeButes and Kevin Smiths of the world sucked all the fun out of everything. "Love and a .45" is no great shakes, but, if anything, it will make you nostalgic for the good ol' days of independent cinema, back when indies were sorta...you know...fun and wacky.
