American Movie
A madcap tribute to a beer-guzzling Midwestern filmmaker -- and indie spirit in general -- docu "American Movie" is well placed at Sundance. Indeed, ambitious, wildly funny chronicle by Chris Smith ("American Job") could be the poster child for a fest that celebrates the do-or-die lifestyle of pic's subject, a redneck auteur named Mark Borchardt.
