Movie Review: 'Full Tilt Boogie' (1998)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Rated: R; Length: 100 Minutes; Genre: Documentary; With: George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino; Distributor: Miramax

Of all the films you'd want to see a ''making of'' documentary about, From Dusk Till Dawn, the 1996 kidnap thriller-turned-vampire Western, wouldn't be high on the list. But Sarah Kelly's cheeky, rambling Full Tilt Boogie is more fun than the movie it's about. Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney, and the rest of the cast and crew don't appear to harbor any fantasies that they're toiling on the next Pulp Fiction, yet it's the very nakedness of the project's mediocrity that allows the carny-barker romance of moviemaking to flower.
