A trailer has been released for the strange little indie film Dinner in America. The offbeat comedy follows a weird young lady who is obsessed with a punk band whose lead singer enlists her help in hiding him from the police. The movie is being hailed as an instant cult-classic after having premiered at Sundance last year then making the film festival rounds.
In a dreary Midwestern suburb, aggro punk rocker Simon (Kyle Gallner) finds himself on the run again after a bout of arson and another close call with the police. A chance encounter with the spirited & socially awkward Patty (Emily Skeggs) provides him with a place to lay low. As the two embark on a series of misadventures, they begin to realise they have a lot more in common than they first expected…
“Set to the beat of brilliant original songs, Dinner in America is an empowering wild ride through the places and people of suburbia — in all their peculiar and chaotic forms. Welcome to the Dollhouse collides with Napoleon Dynamite – with an added dose of the endlessly quotable dialogue of Heathers – Dinner in America is a DIY love letter to being authentically yourself, finding your voice, and being punk AF.”
The movie stars Kyle Gallner and Emily Skeggs, and comes from writer and director Adam Rehmeier (The Bunny Game, Jonas, and H.P. Lovecraft: Two Left Arms). This looks so weird and quirky; it’s refreshing to see a movie so different and original. Check out the trailer below, and keep an eye out for a US release date.
