It is an indie film that was made in 95 by a group of friends in Texas.They had originally made a short about some wrongheaded yet lovable crooks that James Brooks saw at Sundance and loved. They then expanded it into a full length feature. The movie is the tale of three alienated young adults trying to make something of themselves through a life of crime (sort of). They aren't really hard hearted enough to be crooks, but they see this as a way of acheiving something ( and monetary gain isn't really the issue either). Maybe it's a movie about friendship and the lengths we will go to to follow our friends, and then there's the love story..... Alright Will, I give up with this synopsis stuff here's the link to the Sony website http://www.spe.sony.com/movies/bottlerocket/ This should confuse you some more I'm sure, but I'd rather have a huge multinational conglomerate confusing you than having to do it myself.
