365 Days of Trailers Day 27


Day number 27 brings you Bam Margera's 2003 indie film Haggard: The Movie.

Based on the true story about Ryan Dunn (played by himself) and his ex-girlfriend Glauren (Jenn Rivell) and how she cheated on him. After the break up Glauren is rumored to have been hooking up with heavy metal Hellboy (Rake Yohn). Ryan enlists the help of his friends Valo (Bam Margera) and Falcone (Brandom Dicamillo) to find out the truth. They do whatever it takes to get the evidence, even if it meant breaking into her house. Meanwhile, Ryan has run-ins with the law and even gets stabbed in the eye with a fork. The movie also includes special appearances by pro-skaters Tony Hawk, Jason Ellis, and Bucky Lasek. - IMDB

Haggard is not your typical Jackass material, as it focuses on actual storyline. Dunn truly showed off his acting abilities, it's sad that he is no longer with us and never got as much work in film as Johnny Knoxville. Dicamillo's character has always been one of my favorites in the film. While not believable, his absurd sense of humor truly stands out. Nothing in this film is award winning, but has always held a special place for me. Watching Dunn go through the mixed emotions of a breakup seemed quite true to life, as if he wasn't actually acting but truly going through those experiences.

I hope you all enjoy and actually give the film a chance.
