Oh, and did we mention that there's even a good new Nicolas Cage film? And a good Evil Dead sequel?

In writer-director Brit McAdams’ feature debut, Owen Wilson stars as Carl Nargle (definitely, 100% not Bob Ross), Vermont’s public television painter of choice until Ambrosia (Ciara Renée) enters the scene and takes over the top spot. All of a sudden a sweet perm, a custom van, and the adoration of fans is not enough to keep Carl from questioning everything. With a strong cast that includes Michaela Watkins, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Stephen Root, Lucy Freyer, and Lusia Strus, this could be the independent comedy to catch this month.
