Boring

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

I didn't go out of my way to see this one but I found myself surprised at how interested I was in these characters. I found them very believable.I suppose some sections may have appeared creaky or stiff. But those of us who are fans of indies, well, every now & then it's worth it to wait out the imperfect stuff.My favorite parts of the movie were times in which not too much was going on - when the characters were just hangin' out talkin' well, trash. I found at least one of Val's crazy musings fairly thought provoking.And I was really impressed with how they decided to go with Sly's attempt to hold up a convenience store toward the end of the movie. That seemed -very- believable.I dunno..I wish I could hang out with these two more. One hopes for further adventures...More than anything tho, I was just glad they found each other. They make one hell of a team.

great movie.. i caught it on sundance a good while back.. waiting for next month, then i can get it on its release. harry dodge is amazing.. i caught her on Cecil B. Demented. Check out By Hook or by Crook you wont be disapointed..

A great and truly independent film that hit most of my emotions and carried me into another world. Isn't this why we go to the movies? I was especially impressed with the editing and the music, the combination of which was very transportive.

I was very impressed with this small, independently made picture. The story, about a pair of social outcasts who meet, become friends, and provide each other with a support system both seemed to lack as children, is at times hilarious, at times sad, but always provocative. Music, mostly by underground bands, was used to great effect, as was the experimentation with camera angles, filters, and slow or fast motion techniques. The performances (the leads are played by the writers and directors of the film) are some of the best I've seen in the last couple of years. If you ever felt like a square peg being forced into a round slot, I really believe you'll appreciate "By Hook or By Crook".
