The Go-Getters
Running time: 80 mins
Screwing up goes ballistic when two hustlers join forces. The Go-Getters shocks and titillates as Lacie, an unlucky prostitute, hooks up with Owen, a wine-guzzling loser. No scheme is too sleazy, and no amount of cash too paltry to discourage them from pursuing one crazy con after another just to afford $98 bus tickets out of town. Owens brother tries to help while managing his dark, dismal, and derelict bar. An unsavory bunch of saloon regulars add to the hilarity. Its as if Shameless is combined with Down and Out in Beverly Hills. Will Owen and Lacie end up in jail, or in each others arms? This superb comedy will leave you in suspense and in stitches. Angela Ettinger Preceded by the short film: Home; dir. Clark Duke; USA; 12 min.
