Hands on a Hard Body | Year: 1998 Classification: Documentary Directed: - S.R. Bindler Go Early to Increase Your Odds! I've seen this film at Dobie about 4 times now. I love taking someone to see it just to watch their reaction as the movie progresses. HOAHB presents a cross section of East Texas better than if you were to visit the region in person. As a result of the film, the contest enters the Quirky Texas Folklore category along with Ralph the Swimming Pig, Marvin Zindler, Hippie Hollow, and Big Hair: not necessarily the most cerebral or refiined institutions in Texas Culture -- but near and dear nonetheless. Hands on a Hardbody is a classic for everyone and an absolute for Texans. If you're in Austin, see it in Dobie Theatre for a more intimate and decorative experience. Then, get it on DVD or Tape to watch again and to show your friends! A lot of fun, but I don't know if it's worth owning. This is the first DVD I bought when I ordered my DVD player from Amazon.com. I love documentaries and "mock"umentaries, and this one looked like a lot of fun. Plus, it's cheep. First of all, I dont know much about this film or its makers, but it was shot in 4:3 aspect ratio, so the DVD edition wouldn't really look too much different than VHS. Secondly, although you really get into the characters, and start rooting for your favorites, you lose out on that excitement the second time you view it. There's no surprise the second time around, and it's no fun to root. This is impressive, though, as a low-budget look at the human being as a specimen. These people do some crazy things, especially after the second day or so. This contest brings out the worst in some, the best in others, and the rest just go crazy. Try renting this before buying it. Fun, but very cheaply produced documentry Worth seeing if like getting insight into the very, Very, VERY common Joe's of the world. These people ar soooo real they would never be cast in a reality TV show! Yep .. that real!
