Good matineee fare.Did I watch this just because I read an article about how it ends with a dance number set to "It's Oh So Quiet" by Bjork?While the rest of the movie is a thin and excessively 90's-indebted indie, those three or so minutes were perfect.Hilarious movie with two (out of three) escaped convicts who end up in the town of the title and find out they're mistaken for a couple of gay pageant hosts for little girls and they've been expected in town. There's so much comedic potential and good story line potential but it focuses on the wrong god damn subplots. This was a good end to a very up and down fest.1999 was the year I did the whole of the LFF from the returns queue. | Rating: 2.5/4 Happy, Texas is a hoot, a hilarious comedy that's smart and caring, yet sexy and ingenious enough that it just might stir up some of that elusive Full Monty-style box-office appeal. Macy, Douglas and Walker are the locals that get taken for a ride, and the film could not be cast any better. | ...if the world is not exactly aching from a lack of fish-out-of-water criminal capers, Happy, Texas nevertheless pleasingly proves that even a shtick we've seen before can charm when it's done well. Everything leads up to the big beauty pageant, where the cops are finally on Harry and Wayne's tail. Happy, Texas started out as an awkwardly paced and mildly funny at best movie that left me worried about the rest of the film. Almost everybody in this not-so-funny comedy is giddy and cuddlesome with a gosh-oh-gee enthusiasm that is at first engaging but quickly becomes a sign of a desperation to be liked. Steve Zahn is fucking insufferable and it’s apparent in this, it depresses me that his crowning achievement is Daddy Day Care. We want to hear what you have to say but need to verify your email. There is a moment early in "Happy, Texas" when an escaped convict looks at a roomful of 5-year-old beauty pageant contestants and asks them if they know the words to "Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall."

A turbulent and intriguing love story between two parking officers in the city of Los Angeles. Harry/Steve (Jeremy Northam) and Wayne/David (Steve Zahn) are perfect as the escaped duo who, although at first reluctant, soon find with their skills as "con" con men (see what I did there?)

The writing itself is solid, but the story isn't great. February 14, 2001
