Terribly silly and pointless and annoying movie. It starred Edward Norton; he played 2 twin brothers; one was a straitlaced rigid professor and the other was an Oklahoman-accented pot grower who was friends with Tim Blake Nelson.
Brady the pot-head 'faked' his death precipitating the arrival of the "good" brother to Oklahoma for his funeral. But all Brady wanted was his brother to impersonate him to give him an alibi for some sort of (here it gets vague) drug deal. And then there was Keri Russell presenting some hillbilly love interest (she gutted a carp prior to their first kiss) and Susan Sarandon who was the mother of the twins and who was living in a nursing home (don't ask!) and Richard Dreyfuss as a rabbi and random killings and unexpected violence and sappy corn-fed philosophical asides to give the movie, i think, some kind of merit ????
I've got to stop now and eat a bowl of grit and collard greens and greasy pig skins.
For the record, I liked this movie - found it light, funny and entertaining although I agree that it was a bit clunky and sort of self-conscious and had a few too many quirky yet loveable characters.
