Reviews for Where the Buffalo Roam
It's just a ramshackle package of bizarre anecdotes, some only marginally connected to Thompson's writings.
Finds no cinematic equivalent for Thompson's outrageous language; the material seems strangely meek.
Funny but campy rendition of Hunter S. Thompson by Bill Murray. Easier to watch than FEAR AND LOATHING
