It's the story of good ol' boy Randy Pearson (McKinnon), who can't seem to help getting in over his head. His latest scheme to keep his businesses afloat goes awry when a long-standing debt becomes due to a couple of low level Italian mobsters. Randy's forced to swing into action, but his only hope is a helping hand from his carpal-tunneled, baton-teaching wife (Golden Globe Nominee Lisa Blount); his estranged, gay twin brother (also played by McKinnon), and "Tino Armani" (The Shield's Walton Goggins), a mysterious modern day prophet with a knack for high fashion, Italian cooking and clogging. Winner of the Audience Choice Award at the 2007 Nashville Film Festival and shot on location in and around Atlanta by all Southern filmmakers, RANDY AND THE MOB is a powerful reminder of the strength of Southern roots, where love and family can usually be counted on to trump all adversities. Coming to theaters starting September 21st. RANDY AND THE MOB is distributed by Capricorn Pictures (an off-shoot of the seminal Southern rock label Capricorn Records), founded by Benjy Griffith and the late Phil Walden to establish a creative home for talented Southern filmmakers. A companion soundtrack will be released through Lakeshore Records, featuring a score by John Swihart (NAPOLEON DYNAMITE) and songs from numerous other artists. --© Capricorn Films [More]

Filmmaker-actor Ray McKinnon voices his Southern droll in this amusing, feel-good comedy.

Not a very good movie, on the whole, but there are laugh-out-loud moments and there's promise in the unusual world it depicts.

A Southern-fried deadpan farce that suggests a mid-'60s CBS sitcom as reimagined by Hal Hartley.

Arch in a way that his previous feature was honest, it's a clumsy attempt to lay an overcoat of forced cornpone whimsy on a drab storyline involving mobsters.

It's just that the comedy and the drama never quite crystalize into anything remotely affecting, with the end result feeling more like some extended Southern in-joke than an honest movie.

...the sort of movie that, if the dice fall right, could find a considerable audience. It is a lot smarter and truer to life than a lot of little independent movies that could and did.

The influences of a strange outside world rub up against -- and sometimes abrade -- Southern tradition and a good ol' boy's increasingly fragile sense of self in this dry, gentle, sometimes silly and sometimes very funny comedy.

It's a film brimming with individual scenes featuring nice visual touches about the South and comforting down-home dialogue spiced with a healthy twinge of sarcasm. Too bad the movie never completely gels.
