I just watched it. During the entire movie I kept thinking that Sam looked really familiar. When I looked it up I was pretty surprised to see that it was one of the Beastie Boys. There are several cameo appearances throughout, including John Cusack as a crazy guy traveling through Nevada as a “Dine & Dasher”.
This was an enjoyable little movie. Maybe a bit of a homage to Easy Rider. I thought the subplot with the girl in the personnel department was a nice comedic addition. The “prophets” that they met along their journey definitely made the movie.
