Has anyone seen the movie Good for Nothing?
I have DirectvNow and stream movies and I couldn’t sleep last night so I tried to pick a movie that would help me fall asleep. I watched a Western which was made in New Zealand. It surprised the crap out of me! I laughed out loud, and I mean side splitting laughter, several times. If you like the Coen Brothers and Sam Raimi I guarantee you’ll like this film. It’s one of those that opens so quietly that it’s through word of mouth that people find out about it. Other than to say it’s a Western set in a gorgeous setting I can’t say anything about it without giving away the plot and premise and subject matter. Give it the first 10 minutes and you’ll be hooked. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Andy Webster of The New York Times called the movie "a slender movie of humble, welcome charms", and said first-time director Mike Wallis used the scenery of New Zealand to "maximum advantage". He pointed out that while the movie appears to promise romance, it is not "predictable".[2]
Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter said it was "a promising first feature effort" that was like "a Kiwi spaghetti western filtered through the offbeat sensibilities of early Sam Raimi or the Coen brothers". [3]
John Anderson from Variety said it has "a tone so deadpan it becomes laugh-out-loud funny" and it is "a winning balance of humor and pluck". He criticized its US release by saying that "Proper positioning might have won the film a better theatrical shot, and perhaps even a cult following. But a robust afterlife seems hould follow its limited opening."[4]
