There's definitely an audience for this film. The question: are you part of that audience? Do you enjoy silly people saying unbelievable things? Then, this film may be for you! I want to believe the filmmaker had some greater aim, some higher calling to show the commonality in all man. The unify. To enlighten. Nope. It truly appears he just aimed the camera at the most, ahem, interesting townsfolk he could find, and let it ride. Episodic in nature, Morris introduces us to a group of Vernon residents, and they tell stories, give opinions ; often leave us flabbergasted. These days, clips from a project like this would become viral videos, so you could call this the grandfather to viral videos. But, much like the modern contemporaries, these vignettes begin to wear thin, and that's the main complaint: even at a running time less than one hour, this begins to drag, abd crawl to it's final destination. How much you enjoy this film will depend on how much you enjoy this type of work. Fascinating and singular, but not for everyone.
