Synopsis

Alvin and Lance spend the summer of 1988 in a deserted, fire-damaged forest, with the monotonous task of repainting the markings on a country road. The isolated landscape becomes a place of misadventure as the men find themselves at odds with each other and the women they left behind.

MUBI's take

Director David Gordon Green (George Washington, All the Real Girls) brings a certain wit to this atypical buddy comedy—a film that, surprisingly and successfully, combines the intimacy of Green’s earlier, sensitive character studies with the filmmaker’s more recent foray into mainstream comedy.
