Movie#17 "Happy, Texas" is a goofy, romance-comedy that was a sundance
festival winner. It handles the two guys playing a gay couple with
sensitivity, yet humor, and it should get a plus for that! Also, in the
credits it states: "Thanks, Happy, Texas, even though we shot all of it
in California, sorry!" And that sets it apart, too! I found this a nice
"find" -- and a little like "Raising Arizona"

Happy, Texas(1999) Mistaken as consultants to a beauty pageant in the town of Happy, Texas, two escaped convicts go along with the ruse, masquerading as gay lovers Harry (Jeremy Northam) and Wayne (Steve Zahn). In trying to teach Happy's Junior Misses to win, the two run up against a sheriff (William H. Macy) with the hots for Harry, and a local teacher (Illeana Douglas) catches Wayne's eye. Director Mark Illsley's comedy was a winner at the Sundance Film Festival.
