The Newton Boys

DIRECTED BY: Richard Linklater

REVIEWED: 04-27-98

Richard Linklater directs that triumvirate of hunky studliness, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew McConaughey and Ethan Hawke. I'm biting down on my knuckles they're so fab. Julianna Marguiles, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Chloe Webb are also in there. The story follows some famous bank robbers called, get this, the Newton Boys. In between robberies they discover gravity. This is Linklater's first film that does not take place during a 24-hour period. Also part of the excitement of this movie: How will they wear their goatees? And will they touch their goatees while thinking about stuff? Oooooh.
