Saw this recently upon the recommendation of a friend - and it isn't a bad film. It tells the story of two men who meet (whilst one is ostensibly straight) get together, split up then reconnect again many years later for a sort of baby "Thelma & Louise" type Mexican road trip. It is not a great film, but has just about enough romance and daftness to work. Larry Sullivan and Steve Braun do just enough to keep you engaged with their the characters and it has quite a fun soundtrack too!
