Los Enchiladas

Released 1999
Stars Dave Attell, Todd Barry, Mitch Hedberg, Jana Johnson, Brian Malow, Marc Maron
Directed by Mitch Hedberg

A "B" comedy about a slacker/drifter, who's currently working at a Mexican restaurant called Los Enchiladas. The slacker is played by comedian, Mitch Hedberg, who also directed. The movie can be very funny, and I laughed out loud several times, but there are two problems. One is that the acting is very amateurish, and the other is there's no point. It doesn't go anywhere. At the end the drifter falls for a girl and decides to stick around a while, and he succeeds in getting his friend to move out of his parents' house and go traveling. Wow. It was nice, however, that this ending was not taken seriously by the movie. I would have been irritated if this had been seen as a big revelation, but the movie needed something to tell you it was over. To be fair, there's a lot of funny material here, and you will laugh. You may also look at your watch several times, knowing there's something better you could be doing.
