Mystery Team Sets a Date to Inspect Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse
Movie News By Neil Miller on August 6, 2009 | (2) Comments
And here, I thought Thursday was going to be a wash. The awesome folks at the Alamo Drafthouse have officially announced today that the Sundance sensation Mystery Team will be making its debut here in Austin at the Alamo Ritz on Friday, August 28th.
This is something that director Dan Eckman mentioned in an interview with our own Kevin Kelly at Comic-Con last week (watch that video here), but it is nice to get some official confirmation from our friends at the Alamo. I couldn’t be more excited, as Mystery Team is still one of my favorite films of the year — and easily one of the funniest films to be shown in any theater, anywhere in 2009.
From the Derrick Comedy group, the same kids who brought you Bro Rape and Blowjob Girl online, Mystery Team is the story of three high school seniors who never let go of their days as Encyclopedia Brown-esque gumshoes. It is an absurd story about mal-adjusted youths, drug kingpins and what happens in the back, back room of a local strip club. As I said in my Sundance review, it is “irreverent, dark and beautifully self aware.” Oh, and it is absolutely hilarious. Not the kind of movie that any lover of dark comedy should miss.
The opening night screening will take place at the Alamo Ritz (320 E 6th Street) at 7:00p. Tickets go on sale the Monday before the screening. For more, check out the Alamo Drafhouse website. Also, check out the trailer for Mystery Team below.
