Don from Lakewood

About This Movie

So, 'Don from Lakewood' brings this oddball vibe that's hard to pin down. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that feels intentional, like they really want to immerse you in the mundane life of a used sofa salesman who can barely keep it together. The absurdity of the calls he gets from this mythic idiot adds a layer of surreal humor—it’s both cringe-worthy and oddly relatable. The performances have this raw, unpolished feel that really enhances the offbeat charm. Definitely a hidden gem in its own right, it has that strange atmosphere that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, often circulating in niche collector circles. Original VHS copies are quite rare, and it's one of those titles that might not have much mainstream recognition but is cherished by those in the know. The blend of surreal humor and everyday mundanity makes it a curiosity worth exploring, especially for collectors interested in the oddities of late '80s cinema.
