Movie Info

Documentary filmmaker Ron Mann joined Hollywood actor/hemp activist Woody Harrelson as the thespian traveled up the West Coast preaching the merits of natural, organic living, the result of which is Mann's 2003 film, Go Further. In 2001, Harrelson and a group of friends and other like-minded individuals hopped on bicycles -- accompanied by a psychedelically decorated bus converted to run on hemp-seed oil -- and thus created the SOL (Simple Organic Living) Tour. Along the way, the actor made many

Go Further may be preaching to the converted, but this easygoing documentary promoting an 'alternative lifestyle' -- living without biotechnologically processed foods -- goes down smoothly.

A one-sided soapbox for Harrelson's eco-friendly prattle.

Go Further will galvanize viewers who, in Mr. Kesey's words, are already 'on the bus,' but for those who have not yet climbed aboard (or who got off long ago), it's an agreeably shaggy portrait of a thriving subculture.

Go Further meanders -- narratively as well as geographically -- all over the map.

It may sound like the No Fun Tour, but thanks to Harrelson's winning, almost goofy ways, the whole thing feels like a clown revolution.

The tour wanders about, rambling from issue to issue like a stoner easily distracted by a bag of cookies.

By the time the tour is over, it's hard not to admire Harrelson for embracing easily mocked ideals and suggesting by example that it's better to be part of a small, personal solution than do nothing because the problem is so vast and intimidating.

This yeasty, yogic, sweetly yappy film could change your life, perhaps starting with the 'butter substitute' on your popcorn.

Meant to be a romp in the old Ken Kesey tradition, it's more like a dull drive with a bunch of leftover flower children.

[Director Ron Mann] devotes little time to really exploring the issues, leaving the film a patchwork of assertions that, while they may be true, have to be taken on faith.

You want to yell 'Focus!' not at the projectionist in the booth but at the activists on the screen.

Audience Reviews for Go Further

More entertaining than informative, but the likeable characters draw you into the message better than Al Gore can and I was left wanting more and seeking out answers on my own after I watched the film. Like most documentary flics, this one is one-sided, but it's not hard to argue that the side that is portrayed has a

Ron Mann is an eclectic documentarian, choosing subjects on the fringe of pop culture and putting together films based on them in entertaining and informative ways, even if he sticks in visual quirks a bit more often than necessary. Movies like Comic Book Confidential and Grass detail histories with interesting
