Film Review – American Dresser

“American Dresser” initially wants to be a biker movie, following characters as they take off across the country on two wheels, embracing the romantic notion of daily tourism at top speed, taking in national grandeur and local color along the way. Writer/director/co-star Carmine Cangialosi achieves this feeling of freedom for about ten minutes, with the rest of picture sent in several different directions during its run time, and few of them come together in any meaningful way. “American Dresser” is scattered and ill-conceived, but there’s the saving grace of seniority, with stars Tom Berenger and especially Keith David turning in expressive performances as older men on a quest for one last perfect ride, getting the material halfway to competency while Cangialosi employs a blindfold and a dart board to select where the writing goes next.  Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
