movie review - El Camino Christmas

twenty-eight years and a million words

This is a story of a young man who goes out in search of his estranged father. Things don't go according to plan, and the whole mess culminates in a hostage situation in a liquor shop. The flick's got lots of colorful characters, a pleasant setting, and a police force that must surely be the envy of every small town in North America.
In tone and timing, this movie reminded me of Raising Arizona from way back in the '80s. I enjoyed it. Recommended.
