Member Rating:  
Highway 61 is an offbeat, comedic road movie about a small-town Canadian barber (Don McKellar) who finds a dead body. When a woman claiming to be the corpse's roadie sister (Valerie Buhagiar), arrives in town, he agrees to drive her and the body from Ontario to New Orleans, following Highway 61 over the entire journey. Along the way, they meet several odd characters. Though the story is poorly-paced, it has enough off-center humor and the performances are engaging enough to make it worthwhile. Rockers Jello Biafra and Tav Falco make cameos. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

    I took a chance on this movie since it was billed as "off-beat." And it was. The characters are quirky and the premise of the movie is outrageous...smuggling drugs into the U.S. in a corpse lifted from a small town in Canada. Not a bad flick if you like this genre. It is entertaining enough to hold interest, but it might be best to watch it alone instead of making it the center piece of a movie night with family or friends.
