Final stop is Continental Toyota, where a slick, streamlined Celica has been waiting to capture Heather's heart. She jumps into a white $14,600 hardtop and opens the sun roof, declaring, "This is so cute!" The floor model has a stick shift; instantly Heather insists, "I could learn manual shifting." She would drive it out the door right now if she could. Julie says, "I don't think there's even a comparison" with the Calais or the Sunbird...
...hail the American fringies, those young filmmakers who make something different out of next to nothing. These fine artists must also be slick salesmen. They scrounge for five, six, seven years to get funding -- because it's harder to raise money for a $90,000 no-star feature than it is for a $90 million Schwarzenepic -- and then scrape at the doors of independent distributors.

And if they aren't, they should at least be honest about...

Clivilles and Cole play drums, percussion and keyboards, write the songs, and do all the arranging. The result is as slick as the Rockefeller Center ice rink in February, and just as chilly: plenty of fancy footwork, and a radical shortage of heart...
