    Debut en la dirección del guionista Tim McCanlies, Dancer Texas Pop. 81 (1998) es un relato sencillo sobre la amistad y los lazos familiares, que gira en torno a la vida de cuatro amigos entrañables que desean huir de su pueblo, Dancer, Texas, para aspirar a un futuro mejor. Danc...( read more)er es un pueblo tan pequeño (81 habitantes), que ni siquiera aparece en los mapas. Keller Colleman (Breckin Meyer), el más entusiasta del grupo, incluso promueve la aparición de Dancer en los mapas y lleva 12 años organizando, junto a sus amigos, Terrell Lee (Peter Facinelli), Eddie Mills (John Hemphill) y ?Squirrel? (Ethan Embry), el ?viaje de sus vidas? hacía los Ángeles.

    McCanlies escribió y dirigió Secondhand Lions (2003) y destacó como guionista en la estupenda película animada The Iron Giant (1999). Dancer Texas Pop. 81 es, a grandes rasgos, un retrato ligero sobre la vida en los pueblitos del sur de los E.U., con un agradable toque humorístico y una crítica noble a los prejuicios y tradicionalismos de los pueblerinos.

    Lo malo es que no acaba funcionando bien con todos los personajes. Al simpático ?Squirrel?, bien interpretado por Ethan Embry (que recuerda al personaje de ?Lucas? en la película homónima protagonizada por Corey Haim y Winona Ryder), le tocó la peor y más conformista resolución, quizás por ser el ?tonto? y pobre de la historia.

    Very charming, often funny look at small-town life in Texas. Solid performances from all. Intelligently written and directed. If you like movies based on dialogue and situations instead of car chases and explosions, you should like this one. A real gem.
