Additional InformationHarry Sawyer (Northam) and Wayne Wayne Wayne Jr. (Zahn) are two escaped convicts who find themselves in Happy, Texas. When they are mistaken for a gay couple who are in town to host a local beauty pageant, they use the opportunity to slip into character and avoid the authorities. Obviously, the bumbling, heterosexual criminals don't have a clue as to what they're doing, and when romance appears in the form of a distraught banker (Walker) and a tacky teacher (Douglas), their real personas threaten to emerge and blow their cover. Zahn's hysterical performance won him a Special Jury Award at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival.
ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...HAPPY, TEXAS is a hoot, a hilarious comedy that's smart and caring....It sparkles with deliciously spot-on, career-advancing performances..., Rolling Stone - ...HAPPY, TEXAS keeps the laughs coming..., Total Film - ...Anyone who likes comedies with a twist should put this on the top of their to-rent list..., Box Office - "...An irresistibly winsome and winning comedy....HAPPY, TEXAS is arguably the funniest American film in years..." -- 4 1/2 out of 5 stars
