Even though I bought about 40 DVDs off some girl on Craigslist today, I didn't watch any of them for my next movie. Today I thumbed through my own collection and between Almost Famous and Armageddon was The Amatures.
I picked this movie up a year or two ago at some video store going out of business. I probably got it for two or three dollars, seeing as I don't usually buy movies for more than five bucks. I bought it for some good reasons though, including: Jeff Bridges, Ted Danson and William Fitchner.
The story is ludicrous, but that's usually alright with such a cast, which also includes Tim Blake Nelson (O Brother Where art thou?), Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous) and Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix). Jeff Bridges's character (Andy) convinces the majority of the small town he lives in to make a porno movie. That's literally all you need to know about it, oh and that's there's no nudity.
My recommendation is to see it if you like any of these actors. It's none of their best works, but it all comes together nicely in this movie. Nothing too exciting ever happens, but then again it's only 99 minutes. Final thought; I liked it and so did my mom, so take that for what it is.
