- Summary:
- A rollercoaster ride of the absurd, combining the photographs of Kate Schermerhorn and the writing of Simon Winchester in a compelling and hilarious exploration of this search for fun. We see people bungee jump, pretend to bungee jump, play bingo, bowl, hit golf balls through clown heads and stack Oreo Cookies. This is a quirky affectionate take on Americans at play.
