Pass the Popcorn: Movies from where I Sit

One of my favorite comedies is "Happy, Texas", with Steve Zahn and Jeremy Northam.  I was reminded of it last night because we were watching "Dallas Buyers Club" in which Steve Zahn plays a cop.  "Happy" is about two small time criminals who escape their minimum security prison and end up carjacking an RV.  They soon realize the best place to hide is to impersonate the two guys who own the RV, but unfortunately, the victims are gay and make their living running kids talent pageants.  Of course, Zahn gets stuck with the little girls sewing costumes, teaching dance routines and falling in love with their dance teacher.  Northam falls in love with the woman banker of the bank he plans to rob.  William H. Macy is the sheriff, who has a secret crush on Northam, and there is a psycho who escaped with them who now comes back to share in the loot.  I laugh out loud so much in this tender, somehow believable movie, because all the actors have terrific timing and make their characters true to life.  Zahn makes the film work, and his kindness towards the little girls, his goofy dance steps, his sewing and bitching at Northam, who leaves all the pageant work to Zahn while he's romancing the banker and holding off the sheriff from declaring his love, is hilarious.  It all ends happily, with the guys getting their gals (as soon as they get through the rest of their prison sentences) and the dance team going on to compete a a higher level.  Everybody wins.
