THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Popular stars Steve Zahn (Forces of Nature, You've Got Mail, Out Of Sight), Jeremy Northam (An Ideal Husband, Mimic) and William H. Macy (Mystery Men, A Civil Action, Fargo) enliven a hilarious comedy where a case of mistaken identity leads to a beauty of a con game! When escaped convicts Harry Sawyer (Northam) and Wayne Wayne Wayne, Jr. (Zahn) are pulled over in the town of Happy, Texas... while driving a stolen Winnebago... they think they've been arrested. Rather, they're immediately welcomed as the vehicle's owners: a gay couple who've come to orchestrate the "Little Miss Fresh-Squeezed Pre-Teen" beauty pageant! Not ones to let a good con pass them by, the pair don't hesitate to adopt flamboyant new personalities... and quickly meet with outrageously unpredictable consequences! With a great cast of stars playing an unusually offbeat collection of characters - you'll be more than happy you picked up this laugh-out-loud comedy treat!

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• After premiering at The Sundance Film Festival the film was purchased by Miramax for $2.5 million dollars, however a rival at Fox claimed that the company secretly paid more than $10 million for the movie but didn't want the public to know fearing it would diminish the indy feel of the movie if it was revealed how much they actually paid.
• William H. Macy's does a small parody of his role in Fargo in this movie. It is during a phone call when he says he can't read the fax because it is too smudgy and wants the document to be mailed.
