Summary: More Dry Humor In The Spirit Of Bottle Rocket
Review: I never thought I'd want to see, much less enjoy, a movie called Happy, Texas, but the trailer didn't lie this time, and I've now seen it three times. It's not a perfect, movie, and the viewer who complained that it was a bit disjointed is right, but there are so many good moments and appealing characters that it is impossible not to enjoy yourself.
Small time crooks Harry Sawyer (Brit Jeremy Northam, who actually does a not bad job with the accent, and anyway is Jeremy Northam, so who cares?) and Wayne Wayne Wayne Jr. (Steve Zahn, hilarious as "the other one") escape their prison van and end up hiding out in the small town of Happy, posing as gay beauty pageant organizers. And there they meet Jo...sephine McClintock,(Ally Walker, warm and funny and appealing) the perpetually stressed Miss Schaefer (Illeana Douglas) and "Chappy" the sherrif (William H. Macy, a real standout), while teaching some little girls to throw punches and bop to Bjork, and trying to decide whether or not to rob the bank.
It's bizarre and great, perfect winter entertainment.

Summary: Its a Tornado
Review: I must say that this has to be the funniest movie I have ever seen. Anyone looking for some fun light humor that willhave you rewinding and rewatching, this is the movie for you. I love this show, I have rented it at least 20 times, I know every word and I still laugh. I have told all of my friends, and they love it too. I highly recommend this movie to everyone!!!!
People seem to really like Macy, and I do inthis movie, but I think that Steve Zahn, and the other one :), are funnier.
Get this movie and enjoy 1.5 hours of nonstop laughing.
