This is one of my favorite movies. I enjoy the humor, the desert setting, and the quirky characters. With features like an ostrich-raising mayor, a conspiracy-theorist who runs a radio station from a trailer, a nerdy-little-science-geek kid, and houses that are built with basements that attach to mines, how could this movie go wrong? It's not quite a perfect movie, but it's a lot of fun and I'd give it 4.5 stars on a 5-point scale!
