This is a true independent film: a low budget, a strong story, no familiar actors, no familiar director and a production company I will probably never hear about again.The story is about as simple as stories get: one man, employed at a boat shop, starts receiving harassing phone calls from another man who claims to be his son. The calls increase throughout the movie and we piece by piece see the connection between the two men.This film relies almost entirely on dialogue and vulgar language (with such expressions as "you can kiss a good man's ass"). There is not much for action. The film could be considered a comedy with the humorous exchanges between the two men and the antics that ensue, but underneath it all is a drama and a social commentary on race relations.This film will make you want to smoke and eat corn dogs. So make sure you purchase corn dogs before watching the movie or you will regret this. I recommend the film, although it's not something you would watch at a party or with a special friend. Invite over that kid who likes "Clerks" and "Slacker"... they'll appreciate this one.

Triple K Marine! This little known movie (and I mean little known, there are no reviews at Rotten Tomatoes) has been my favorite ensure film ever since it came out. I was lucky to find it on a Blockbuster shelf. I am not even sure it ever came out in the theaters. I've passed this film onto family members since no one I know has ever heard of it either. I can't even find anyone to talk about it on the Net! Put simply, there is nothing else like it. The scenes are quite simple, a man's voice (we never get to see his face, and I love that) is calling Noble Willingham's character over and over on the phone and calling him "Daddy". Why? In my opinion who cares, I just love seeing how Noble's character breaks down with each call! And the interplay between the two men is even funny at times. We do find out why this man (voice) has come to town with one mission only. The soundtrack alone is terrific, and I wish it were on a CD. The acting is...well it doesn't even seem like acting! Trust me if you like offbeat films, see it!

"... quicker than a cat can lick it's a_s!" LMAO!!! This movie is earthy and real. There ARE characters out there like Ace, his 'girlfriend', and his Colonel Sanders look-a-like boss. If you look real hard, I bet you see Karl and the lawnmower shop from Slingblade next door! hahahahaha The characters were outstanding, revenge was believable, the music was excellent (love Lousiana swamp blues!), and I about wet my pants with the brace-and-bit scene I laughed so hard. The only regret (and I mean the only regret) was that we never got to really see his tormentor! Buy this movie (don't just rent it), send the wife and kids to the mall, get serious with your favorite 6-pack, nuke up some 'corndogs', and prepare to laugh yourself into a coma!

My brother-in-law turned me on to this after it was assigned as a study for one of his college classes. The Corndog Man is one of the best indie films I've ever seen. It should be re-released and a DVD made. It should make a tour for big screen as well. A man begins calling a boat salesman and a relationship begins. One that the salesman is sure will add to his quota. The phone calls keep coming and the story develops. The scenes in the boat shop are comical. Especially the bathroom peeking. This is a movie I have watched several times with the same thrill and joy as the first. Find it, watch it, own it if you can. Get a copy and lend it to your friends.
