The trouble is that the movie can't decide if it's trying for laughs or social statement.

Where the Buffalo Roam is a shambling stiff, destined to tarnish the reputations of everyone responsible for it.

This is the kind of bad movie that's almost worth seeing. But there are large things wrong with Where the Buffalo Roam.

The film invites us to chuckle along with Thompson as he indulges in a series of objectionalble episodes.

A sporadically amusing, frustratingly scattershot look at Thompson's life and times.

Finds no cinematic equivalent for Thompson's outrageous language; the material seems strangely meek.

Mr. Murray is clever whenever he is audible... But the story rambles desperately, and there are times when the screenplay is barely there. Mr. Thompson's only identifiable quality soon becomes facetiousness, and it wears terribly thin.

It's just a ramshackle package of bizarre anecdotes, some only marginally connected to Thompson's writings.

Laughs aplenty for people who use drugs as a pose, but most will be left wondering if half a pint of Bass doesn't qualify as a revolutionary action.
