In Dave Gorman In America Unchained, the multi award-winning performer sets off on a journey to see if it's still possible to live in America without giving any money to 'The Man'. Travelling coast-to-coast, he's not staying in any chain hotels, eating in any chain restaurants, or filling up at any chain gas stations. On this journey, only independent "Mom & Pop" businesses will do. Of course, travelling unchained in a chained world is tricky--when you're tired you can't just stop at a Starbucks, and when the tank is running empty you can't just pull up at the next gas station. Staying true to the task was always going to be a struggle, but the people facing the real struggle are those working to keep the unchained businesses of America alive.

If you like Dave Gorman, you're sure to enjoy his latest wild (read: stupid) adventure, and this time he's armed with a camera and a director. Sometimes.
It's interesting, emotional at times but mostly just a nice look into the Dave driving across America, and how hopeless he'd be if he didn't have anyone to keep an eye on him.
As a fan of Fast Food nation I was intrigued to see if it was posible to travel from coast to coast of America without using any large corporate chain businesses. I am a great supporter of local business and was interested to see if this journey was possible whilst only using independantly owned establishments.
Unfortunately I found this movie to be nothing less than insipid self-indulgence and it has put me off ever watching Dave Gorman again!
