Don't Come Knocking (2005) - No Gay Content

Mediocre movie.

Here, Sam Shepard (who also wrote the movie) is a Western movie star who has seen better days.  He's having something like a late-life crisis.  He goes to his mom's house, finds out he has a child.  He goes after the child.

Fairuza Balk was very good as the girlfriend of Gabriel Mann, who played a struggling singer.  Jessica Lange is in the movie too.  She had no expression above her eyes, due to a bad case of bottox, I guess.  Sam Shepard was just bad.

Sam Shepard's character was bothered when male fans stared at him, and that bothered me a bit.  He had no problem when females stared at him but was upset when guys did it.  But I won't take it as homophobia because there was no name calling, no suggestion of a real problem with gays, and no indication that the guys staring at him could have been gay.

Excellent tunes, some of which were sung by the mentioned struggling singer, who also shows some skin (unfortunately).

Now wait, a cowboy related movie with no gay content?  Oh, come on.
