Movie

Montana Amazon

2013 · 88 min

An offbeat road trip that ambles between quirky comedy and quiet tenderness, watching oddballs collide with ordinary America.

Overview: The Dunderheads are an eccentric Montana family who've been in the mountains for far too long. Now one step ahead of the law, matriarch Grandma Ira flees to Canada with her two wildly dysfunctional teenage grand kids, across the American West into a comic collision with the mainstream world. Montana Amazon is a both funny and poignant fable on the nature of the human family.
