Bottle Rocket

Friendship is a treasure that no one likes to let go in their lives. From our very childhood, from the times that we learn to walk and go around the neighborhood, we learn to care about our friends, and to share our emotions. With the growing age, changes creep into our attitudes, and at times we lose contact with our childhood friends. But that hardly means, that they move out of our hearts altogether. The friends of our childhood, with whom we had learnt to share our feelings and to care for others, remain etched in our memories forever. This spirit of friendship, of the virtues that it has and of the moments it enriches our lives with, have been celebrated over and over again. Through ages there had been myths and folklores, stories and poems and even movies which have celebrated this very spirit. Friendship is a treasure that no one likes to let go in their lives.

Several movies have friendship as their subplot. In these kinds of movies though, the main plot would not have worked out in a way that it does, had the flavor of friendship not been added to it. Bottle Rocket, is one such hilarious movie about the activities of three insane friends.

The story of Bottle Rocket, revolves around a plan that three friends, Anthony, Dinan and Bob. Anthony got released from the mental hospital, following a breakdown. A plan is hatched by Dignan about a crime that they are going to commit on Dignan's previous boss Mr. Henry. Dignan and Anthony decide to take Bob, who is Dignan's neighbor into confidence. Fully prepared, these three pals hit the road with an aim to accomplish their motive. During their journey, Anthony falls in love with a motel maid Inez. The climax of Bottle Rocket comes when the three pals finally meet Mr. Henry, what follows is an absolute laugh riot.
