Default Greatest guy/road movie ever made, boys

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xY5bKAHWHHQ

"Innocent critters! Squashed on the highway o' life!"

Kevin Reynolds, a disciple of Steven Spielberg, made this movie from a script he wrote in college in SoCal.

It starts off at an Austin frat house party and meanders all over West Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
You'll recognize a very young Kevin Costner who plays the ringleader.

Great scenes, eses.
You'll laff you'll cry at the antics of those lovable collegians from UT who waltz through life with a zest for living.

Midnight Run is a great guy/road movie.

Rober DeNiro plays a bounty hunter who is trying to take Robert Grodin from NY to LA, while being chased by the feds and the mob. Great stuff.

Yep. Sorry about that.

I think Robert Grodin is an author.

The scene in the beginning of that movie where they end up in my hometown of Wichita absolutely cracked the entire movie theater up when we went to see it. It was so loud you couldn't hear the movie for at least 10 minutes.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.
