Movie Reviews - Bass Ackwards 
 
Movie reviews  this week looks at the charming road trip movie Bass Ackwards.
It stars Linas Philips as Linas ( you get the feeling this might be a little 
closer to home, when the lead actor uses his real first name), it also stars 
John and Gema Philips, Linas's real life parents as themselves.

We meet Linas as he videos a wedding, speaking to some of the people at the 
wedding, alternated with flash backs of when Linas was a kid, and his 
affectionate and adorable family.

Linas is currently staying at a friend's place, but inevitably his friend and 
girlfriend would like some privacy, so Linas moves out, and starts working at a 
Llama farm, run by a wonderful Alpaca farmer played by Bill Green, who has a 
classic 1976 converted Volkswagen mini, Linas falls in love with the moment he 
sees it; that is a source of constant amusement throughout the movie, 
especially when Linas tries to get people to pass by him as it is way too slow.

He decides to go on a road trip, to New York and visit his parents, using the 
vehicle, and asks his on-off girl friend Georgia played by the gorgeous 
Davie-Blue if she would like to come along.  It turns out Georgia is not quite 
sure if she wants to continue a relationship with Linas. There is an amusing 
scene, where Linas phones up Georgia and asks her to come over, whilst she is 
at home with her current boyfriend, she makes an excuse and meets up with 
Linas, unbeknownst to her, her current boyfriend follows her, he sees her 
coming out of Linas's flat, and when she leaves, attacks Linas without a word 
being said.

Linas seems to be a very friendly individual, and even offers space on his car 
for someone to sleep in, Jim played by Jim Fletcher, who just happens to knock 
on his window whilst he is asleep and asks if he can come in (not a lot of 
people would happily do this), and throughout his road trip he intends on 
helping anyone that crosses his path regardless of his circumstance. As an 
example, there is a charming scene, where a boy steals a toy in a store and 
runs out to the parking lot to meet his mother, but the shop keeper is on to 
him and chases him out; about to tell his mother he is going to call the 
police, when Linas quickly steps in and says he was just about to pay for it, 
as you can imagine the mother is extremely grateful.

The two friends continue their road trip together, with Jim going to New York 
in order to spend time with his daughter, as per the terms of his seperation 
from his wife, it is his turn for her to stay with him.  At first you wonder if 
Linas has made a terrible mistake, giving a lift to someone who seems anxious 
at best, and says he has hardly had any sleep in the last few days; if this is 
heading towards a disaster Linas is going to regret.

Bass Ackwards is a charming movie, and once the end credits are shown you 
realise it was a family endeavour.
