So we finally saw “The Go-Getter” – the roadtrip indie directed by Martin Hynes starring Lou Taylor Pucci, Zooey Deschanel, Jena Malone and the film that basically inspired the formation of She & Him – the duo of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel (Ward scored the film and lent many, many songs to the flick – the pair met while working on the film and by recording the film’s final song, a cover of Richard and Linda Thompson’s road classic, “When I Get To The Border”).
There’s lots to say about it, but before we get into it all we thought we’d share what will be the first look for the film’s trailer. The film comes out in limited release June 6 and we definitely recommend that you go out of your way to see it.
The story begins as thus:
19-year-old Mercer (Lou Taylor Pucci) is barely out of town when a cell phone left behind in the car he’s just stolen begins to ring. Surprisingly, the car’s owner Kate (Zoey Deschanel) is open to the idea of his journey – tracking down his estranged older half-brother and breaking the news to him that their mother has died. Kate doesn’t threaten to call the police, instead she offers him a curious deal: use the car until he’s done on one condition – that he call her and tell her about the trip along the way.
