“We’ve got a lot of lines to paint, and it’s a very long road.” -Alvin

In this anti-bromance the pompous Alvin (Paul Rudd) is pitched against the clueless Lance (Emile Hirsch) when they are forced to muddle through the summer together, painting lines down a lonely Texan road in the aftermath of a wildfire.

A wry, contemplative and outright hilarious meditation on modern masculinity and male bonding from director David Gordon Green (All the Real Girls, Undertow, Pineapple Express).

Screening as part of the Speakeasy Cinema Selects series at Rooftop Cinema, every Tuesday evening through the ’13-14 season.

“Pure art house visionary, channelling Herzog, Malick and the dramas that Gus van Sant made.”

–- Matt Zoller Seitz, rogerebert.com

ALVIN: I reap the rewards of solitude.

LANCE: I get so horny out here in nature.
