As much as it sounds like comedy, is really a drama with situational humor thrown in. There's an innocence and likeability to all of the characters, even when they re awkward and obnoxious. Strong's first work in front of the camera (he's been assisting productions since 1996) is thoroughly enjoyable, especially in scenes opposite character actor Brad Dourf-whom I loved in HBO's Deadwood-as the commune's patriarchal pothead.

Southern Pacific, a railroad company refused to pay a special county tax in California, arguing (much as sludge hauler Synagro would do in Pennsylvania more than a century later) that to treat it differently from everyone else violated its constitutional rights. [...] in California's Humboldt County, where the timber giant Maxxam and its contractors spent more than $350,000 to recall a crusading district attorney, voters this year approved a ballot measure banning campaign spending by nonlocal businesses, and specifying that "No corporation shall be entitled to claim corporate constitutional rights or protections in an effort to overturn this law.
