BOOK lover in me could not resist a book club related film. Fun chick flick with great cast ;-)

Writer: Greg Sestero
Stars: Greg Sestero, Tommy Wiseau
-Comedy, Thriller | imdb | my rating: 4
As Sestero's drifter makes a run for it, he finds himself on a desert expedition, where wild characters and dark foibles intersect. As his misadventure teaches him about friendship and loyalty, Wiseau's mortician surfaces a surprise or two.
THE stories continues with lots of Tommy-isms. Love his positive vibe.
