To me, this movie is perfection.

While I would admit that there might be some people out there who might like "Motorama" and consider it something of a cult classic, I have to also admit that this movie didn't do much for me. It is too quirky for its own good. We have a central protagonist that we learn almost nothing about before he starts on his long road journey. He encounters a lot of weird people on the road (some of them surprisingly mean-spirited) whose appearances don't seem to have any point. And the end of protagonist's quest is unclear, though it seems to indicate that it was an utter waste of time, making the 90 or so minutes following this character a waste of time. If you want to see a GOOD road movie about a character encountering weird stuff during his journey, seek out a copy of "Interstate 60" instead.

A 10 year old kid fed up with his parents arguing decides to hot wire a car and go on a surreal journey across America to find Motorama cards, which is a gas station card game, that if he can find to spell out "Motorama" he has a chance to win 500 million dollars. He meets many bizarre characters along the way. No one can make an 'instant cult classic', Joe Minion's previous "After Hours" achieved that by sheer merit & an amazing director, but it wasn't instant. This movie, on the other hand, is just bizarre just to be bizarre. No rhyme or reason to any of it. The plot is incidental at best and seems to exist just to showcase various cameos. It's just not a fun film nor a thoughtful one. It's way too slapped together. I've heard many comparisons between this and David Lynch films. That's damn near heresy as even Lynch's 'worst' film (worst in quotes, as he doesn't have an bad films really) is still miles above this dreck.

Little Gus is a ten year old delinquent. He runs away from his parents and decides to go on a road-trip. Reaching the petal is somewhat tough for him, so he creates a device to help him. His goal is to win a gimmicky lottery type card game called Motorama. He has to find all eight letters in order to spell M-O-T-O-R-A-M-A. Dark laughter follows as it turns into the road-trip from hell. He runs into some deranged Lynch like characters. Most memorable is the gas station attendant, who puts his picture on a kite in hopes that God will see it. Later Gus gets a tattoo and an eye-patch for his injured eye. He becomes one of the most rebellious bad-ass 10 year olds you may ever witness on screen. This is no kid's flick! Look for cameos by Jack Nance, Flea and Drew Berrymore. Be warned although Drew is on the front cover, she only appears in the film in a dream sequence for a couple seconds. Also the film gets confusing towards the end reaching David Lynch territory, you may want to watch it a couple times. "Motorama" was written by Joseph Minion, most well known for his screenplays for "After Hours" and "Vampire's Kiss" So enjoy this depraved surreal road-trip of fun!

Allow me to explain my summary. When i say that "Motorama" is number one on my list, it is number one on my "worst movies ever" list. I have shown this movie to many of my friends, simply so they will say that it is the worst film ever made. So far, they all agree. I do encourage people to see this film at least once, just to bask in the stench this film exudes. It lacks plot, promise, and point. I have had more enjoyment watching ants run about carelessly than I did when I sat down and saw this movie. See it, and then agree with me.
