Shakespeare meets street hustlers in a plot loosely

Shakespeare meets street hustlers in a plot loosely inspired by Shakespeare's Henry IV part 1, Henry IV part 2 & Henry V. The film is both humorous and profound with River Phoenix's (Mike) shining & Keanu Reeves (Scott) also starring alongside some very memorable characters (Hans, Bob). I think it's probably of the best LGBT Films/ depictions of LGBT characters in film, & deservedly considered a cult classic. The offbeat film's authentic style coupled with its compelling, drifting story, make My own Private Idaho a must watch nearly 30 years after release.

Not bad

Overall, this is a very artsy movie with a unique vibe. It has an interesting plot and main character, and it does have some vague elements of caring for others, and watching others succeed. But, the acting is... strange. It feels disconnected and it hard to understand what's going on at quite a few moments because of the dialogue. Good for if you want a taste of very artistic movies of the 90s.
