motorama viewer should already by keen on other offbeat b grade desert base film such a bagdad cafe or repo man ( which more or less take place in the desert ) . it also model some of the bizarre humor ( and especially eccentric trail of character ) of writer joseph minion comedy and after hour . in a sort of desert roadtrip fantasy and a metaphor of temptation and redemption and gu ( play well by jordan christopher michael ) and a clever 10 year old boy cash in his piggy bank and steal a mustang and and run away from his grossly neglecting parent . it begin a a trip through salvation ( which be apparent in the scene with john diehl ) and but once he become hook on a scratch off game call motorama and he become easily taint by temptation and loose his childish innocence . he travel from one crazy fictional state to another concoct way of get motorama card from participate gas station and just enough so that he might spell out the prize win word m o t o r a m a and be eligible for the $ 500 million cash prize . along the way and he be embattle with dozen of strange character such a flea who play a high strung busboy and meatloaf who play a crazy biker and and mary woronov and sandy baron ( a seinfeld regular ) a two violent kidnapper . the dvd rerelease can be very deceptive and as have previous attempt to sell this film to the non cult market first with taglines compare it to home alone and thelma and louise . the new call it a love story with the tagline implying that the film be about jordan michael christopher on an adventure to meet the girl of his dream . which and despite the size of her picture on the dvd cover and be actually only about a 1 second cameo by drew barrymore a the fantasy girl that gus dream about . why do not they just market it for what it be . think it may seem totally bizarre on first viewing and it be actually a well design narrative . motorama be great material for fan of strange b grade comedy . this be quite an interesting story and and particularly because of the strength of it lead actor jordan michael christopher ( who unfortunately have few other screen credit of note ) and the clever metaphor inherent in the plot . hopefully it re release on dvd will make it an easy find for cult fan .
