Highway 61 is an offbeat, comedic road movie about a small-town Canadian barber (Don McKellar) who finds a dead body. When a woman claiming to be the corpse's roadie sister (Valerie Buhagiar), arrives in town, he agrees to drive her and the body from Ontario to New Orleans, following Highway 61 over the entire journey. Along the way, they meet several odd characters. Though the story is poorly-paced, it has enough off-center humor and the performances are engaging enough to make it worthwhile.

All sorts of interesting and strange things happen along the way - visiting Bob Dillon's childhood home, meeting Jackie's former band mates,

This movie is wacky. I don't know what else to say about it. It's really funny, and there's a guy in it who may or may not be the Devil, and it's also a road movie of some sort, and there are metalheads that hunt chickens indoors with handguns. I did mention that it was really funny, right?
