Two kids who live on the river in the backwoods of Louisiana find a boat in a tree washed up there from the last flood season. The problem with this awesome new tree house is someone has found it ahead of them. Enter Matthew McConaughey with some pretty fucked up teeth on the run from the law. They make a deal to help him rebuild his boat and get the hottest girl in the town Reese Witherspoon to make a run for it. Except his girlfriend really is a ho who uses McConaughey and abuses his love for her. The beauty of this film is not the strength of the adults in the film, but rather the young boy Ellis played by Ty Sheriden who shows he is worthy of the role. The movie's deeper layer is the concept of integrity how it is important to have it. Plus Ellis's best friend has the best handle I've ever heard "NECK BONE". The characters show inner morals and possibilities of being more than nature has given them. A good film to see but owning it might be going to far.
