For every culture in the world, there’s a greedy young asshole willing to exploit it to advance his Hollywood career. And with the number of Burning Man attendees now at 50,000, you had to figure there would be a “major motion picture” about life on the playa sooner or later.

But rather than go to the trouble of making a complex, thoughtful movie about the Burning Man phenomenon, the lazy producers just took a formulaic sports movie and transplanted it to Black Rock City. The result is a movie that really could be taking place anywhere.

The only site-specific scene is when protagonist Christopher Wang candy-flips for a couple of days then freaks out on DMT and screams at chubby little Asian kids.

This movie isn’t nearly as cool as it was in 1998, man, but if you haven’t seen it, you should probably go.
