When private eye Doc Sportello's ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a loony binwell, easy for her to say. It's the tail end of the psychedelic `60s and paranoia is running the day and Doc knows that "love"; is another of those words going around at the moment, like "trip"; or "groovy,"; that's being way too overused - except this one usually leads to trouble. With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, LAPD Detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover, and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang, which may only be a tax dodge set up by some dentists... Part surf noir, part psychedelic romp-all Thomas Pynchon. The film stars Oscar nominees Joaquin Phoenix ("The Master,"; "Walk the Line";), Josh Brolin ("True Grit,"; "No Country For Old Men";) and Owen Wilson ("The Royal Tennenbaums,"; "Midnight in Paris";); Katherine Waterston ("Michael Clayton,"; "Boardwalk Empire";); Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon ("Walk the Line";) and Benicio Del Toro ("Traffic";); Martin Short ("Frankenweenie";); Jena Malone ("The Hunger Games"; series); and Joanna Newsom ("Portlandia";).
