Citizen Duane

About This Movie

Citizen Duane is a quirky little film that captures the essence of a small town with its offbeat humor and charm. The story of Duane Balfour, a teenager with lofty ambitions, feels like a modern-day take on Don Quixote, which is just delightful. You know, it starts out with a simple premise—running for mayor in a town that seems to embrace mediocrity—but quickly spirals into absurdity as Duane navigates the strange and often hilarious world of local politics. It's got this whimsical tone and some amusing performances, particularly from the lead. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to its charm. Plus, the practical effects they use, while not groundbreaking, have this nostalgic feel that fits the story.
