THE BUZZ: Co-directors Bryan Carberry and J. Clay Tweel have earned serious praise for balancing this story's curious and heartbreaking details with a sense of optimism and humanitarianism, so you can feel better about indulging yourself in the ownership war waged by two truly eccentric men.

Storyline

Shannon Whisnant purchased a grill at an auction. Inside the grill was an amputated leg. What follows is a story centered on the enterprising Whisnant and John Wood, the man whose leg wound up in the grill due to an odd chain of events.

Review

I can't fault this really stunning documentary.
When the director stumbled across the numerous eccentric characters who made up this film, I'm sure he couldn't have believed his luck.

However instead of ridiculing the characters, he sensitively lets them tell their own stories in their own way.
Make no mistake - the end result will make you laugh out loud, which is why you should watch it in a crowd. However much of the humour comes from the editing rather than cheap shots at the characters' expense, and you will find yourself respecting both them and the director.

You'll also spend much of the movie thinking you are watching a mockumentary, since most of the stars are outstandingly telegenic, and the story - well it's too bizarre to be fiction.

The soundtrack is superb, as are the editing, the direction, the way the clips are woven into a story with a history and an ending, the attention to detail, and even the camera work.
Happy to give up a couple of hours of my time to this movie, and anything else by the same director.
