Who Is Cletis Tout?

I watched this movie on HBO over the weekend and was quite impressed. I believe it had a short theatrical stint back in 2002, but I didn't think much of it. It's a fairly light heist movie with a good sense-of-humor and solid cast (Christian Slater, Tim Allen, Richard Dreyfuss, Portia De Rossi). Ebert's 2 1/2 star review is here for those interested.

I bought this blind when the it came out since I'm a big Slater fan (even with the crud he's been doing lately). It was pretty good.

I watched it because Tim Allen was in it and was quite impressed. This is one of the better movies barely anybody talks about.

So who was he anyway...

I've stayed away from this film because of the overwhelmingly bad reviews. Might give it a spin, due to this thread...

It's been a while since I've seen Who is Cletis Tout? 2002, to be precise. I was one of the very few to see it in theaters (which it took 2 years to get to, it is copyrighted 2000).

While my memory of the movie's details range from fuzzy to nil, my impressions are still clear: dull, derivative, superficial, plodding, insincere . . .

It was, according to my 2002 theater-going rankings, the worst film of the year. I actually enjoyed Feardotcom much much more than Who is Cletis Tout? and the former is just as low on my 2002 list.
