Anywhere USA

This just could be one of the funniest American comedies of the past decade. Actually, make that three of the funniest films, since it contains three separate segments that all stand on their own as mini-masterpieces, and for very different reasons. The first is a tale of two rednecks trying to find out if the girl one of them is dating is a terrorist (after all, she eats pistachios, the preferred nut of the Taliban). The second is a dark story of a young girl going to extreme lengths to find out if the tooth fairy really exists. The last segment follows the adventures of a rich man (with a great beard) who realizes one day that he doesn’t really know any Black people, and its about time he met one. Directed by Chusy, it’s bold, brash, thought-provoking, haunting and utterly hilarious.
