Only a Buck

About This Movie

So, 'Only a Buck' is this quirky little comedy that really captures the essence of its time. It’s shot in Spokane, which gives it a unique regional flair that’s hard to find in more mainstream films. The lead, J. Jordan, is this lovable, gadget-obsessed character who's a bit of a misfit in the local TV news scene. The pacing is relaxed, almost reminiscent of those old sitcoms, which lets you soak in the humor and oddball scenarios. The practical effects are charmingly low-budget, but they add to the film's offbeat humor. You can see the influences of the era in the writing too, with a bit of that Rube Goldberg style woven throughout the narrative. It's a slice of '80s indie that feels distinctly personal.
