3D’s Need to See:”Who is Cletis Tout?”
My movie recommendation for you this week is the 2001 film “Who is Cletis Tout?” Most people that I talk to have never heard of this movie, despite its stellar cast including Richard Dreyfuss, Christian Slater, Tim Allen, Billy Connolly, and Portia de Rossi. I’m not sure how it flew so under the radar, but my guess would be the name, which is really strange for a movie.
The film is about two prisoners, played by Dreyfuss and Slater, who stage a jail break. Once free, they plan to recover some stolen diamonds that one of them has stashed on the outside, but first they need new identities to avoid the authorities. This is where the trouble begins. Slater’s character adopts the identity of Cletis Tout, who has been murdered by the local mob. Soon, he has the police, the mob, and a movie fanatic hit man (Tim Allen) after him.
With this description, you might be expecting an action picture. However, it is actually sort of a light, screwball comedy. So, if that sounds like your sort of thing, you need to see “Who is Cletis Tout?”
