Hope Springs - DVD

Love is blind, but for it to work for Clyde and Montel it may have to be deaf and dumb as well. Clyde, the self styled InchplayerInch and Montel, sensitive but inept, embark on a hilarious journey from home to heaven that takes a detour through jail, deceit, the sheets, heartbeats, hair, flare and jockey underwear. Even for the most seasoned players, getting InchSprungInch can happen when they get played and love blooms despite all efforts to avoid it.

An aging comedian tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By day, he slogs through the barren landscape, inadvertently alienating every acquaintance. At night, he seeks solace in the animation of his onstage persona. Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement and the possibility of rekindling a relationship with his daughter, he trudges through a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters.

Les Franken (Michael Rapaport) is a kind-hearted and soft-spoken man who loves reading comic books. He's the type of guy who most people walk by on the street without even noticing; in essence, he's completely average and virtually invisible. However, everything changes for Les the day he is accepted into an experimental drug study. As he begins to take the drugs, an unexpected side effect occurs - he develops special powers. In an effort to use his new talents for protecting others, Les finds himself in a predicament to save himself.
