You must see this movie!

After reading Dooce for close to a year, I was sure that she was the coolest thing to come out of Utah.

WRONG!

Enter Jared Hess and Jon Heder. Most recently noticed as the Director and Leading Actor in Napoleon Dynamite. Without a doubt one of the funniest and quirkiest movies I've seen in years. Awesome drawings, a llama, funky dance moves and possibly the best way to roll credits at the beginning of a film, that I have ever seen. I will definitely be buying this film when it comes out on DVD and I can't wait to see what Hess does with his next project.

If you see this movie for no other reason, then do so for the phenomenal dance performance at the end of the film.


Heder: I didn't train [for that dance], practice or do anything. I just got up and danced. My experience with dancing is a few really small talent shows that my friends put on.

We shot the movie in 22 days and the dance was one of the last days. I thought maybe I should choreograph something but I don’t know how to do that. My dance experience is after a shower I put on Jamiroquai and dance. I’m a huge fan of music like disco and funk, anything you can dance to. When it came down to it I just went up there and felt the music. It was one of the hardest things to shoot because when the cameras started rolling I got nervous. More...
