American Strays is a 1996 American comedy-drama film directed by Michael Covert. It follows three interwoven stories of desert travelers as they converge on a small diner.
Red's Desert Diner Oasis, a dive in the middle of nowhere, becomes the focal point of three separate storylines. In the first, Dwayne ( Savage), a homicidal vacuum cleaner salesman, may have met his match in Patty Mae ( Tilly), a woman with an impressive collection of sweepers. The second story follows Johnny ( Perry), a suicidal man who hires a sadistic hitman ( Jones) to end his life anyway possible which includes beating the ever loving crap out of him. The third story follows an unemployed man ( Roberts) and his family, two mobsters ( Viterelli and Russo), and others as they travel across the emptiness of the American Southwest.
American Strays was released to a single theater on September 13, 1996. [3] The film grossed $1,183 in its opening weekend and $1,910 in total during its theatrical release. [3]
Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote in his review that the film "has the germ of a good idea" but concluded American Strays is "a spoof in search of a sense of humor". [4]
