In a dreary Midwestern suburb, aggro punk rocker Simon (Kyle Gallner) finds himself on the run again after a bout of arson and a close call with the police. A chance encounter with the eccentric Patty (Emily Skeggs) provides him a place to hide, though she fails to realize that her new friend is the anonymous lead singer of her favorite band. As the two embark on a series of misadventures, they realize they have a lot more in common than they first expected. (Sundance Film Festival)

Dinner in America is a punk rom-com. At the heart of the movie are two peculiar yet likable characters you can root for wholeheartedly as they go through their various struggles, although they are certainly not saint. The titular American dinner recurs as a harrowing leitmotif, which, alongside the eccentric behavior of all the characters, seems perfectly natural and fitting. Above all, this is a very solid indie comedy, due to the good performances of Kyle Gallner and Emily Skeggs.
