默默無聞的喜劇演員事業欲振乏力，即將童山濯濯的他仍想奮力一搏，和年輕的默劇演員一同來到莫哈韋沙漠登台作秀，表演他那有些惱人的把戲笑點；與此同時，身為父親的他還試著要與長年疏遠的女兒重建關係。導演瑞克艾佛森以荒涼疏離的簡潔筆調，描繪一位在事業和家庭皆是失敗者的中年男子，並找來獨立製片常客麥可賽拉、約翰萊利、愛咪西米茨，共同步上這一段美麗又荒謬的公路旅程。
Experience the soundtrack to Neil Hamburger s existential dread. Entertainment is the unnerving film account of a traveling comedian lost on the brink. A broken, aging comic tours the California desert, cast away in a sea of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and self-serving attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By day, he drags across the barren landscape, inadvertently alienating every acquaintance. At night, he seeks solace in the animation of his onstage persona. Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement, he confronts a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters.
This sonic companion to Entertainment comes straight from the record collection top-secret Neil Hamburger alter ego Gregg Turkington, an avid gatherer of privately pressed curios and the self-proclaimed #1 fan of Frank Sinatra Jr. Joining the Son of the Chairman of the Board on this limited edition LP is a cast of downtrodden personalities, including a emphatically Los Angeleno nun, a Italian-language folkie whose guitar laments the Vietnam war, and a Columbus, Ohio, civil rights activist and record man. Included are interstitial dialogue snippets, one of which lets co-star John C. Reilly supply a bizarre rendition of Away In The Manger.
