Prince Avalanche is a 2013 American comedy drama movie on Blu-ray.
Two men. The Texan wilderness. And a whole lot of lines.
From director David Gordon Green comes PRINCE AVALANCHE, a refreshingly genuine, often absurdist, exploration in male bonding.
An odd couple of sorts, Alvin (Paul Rudd), meditative and stern, and his girlfriend’s brother Lance (Emile Hirsch), dopey and insecure, leave the city behind to spend the summer in solitude repainting traffic lines down the center of a country highway ravaged by wildfire.
As the two begin their gradual journey across the landscape, swapping stories and butting heads, what unfolds is a humorous yet moving examination of an unlikely friendship.

Prince Avalanche Movie Reviews
“A wonderfully eccentric examination of unlikely friendships that illuminates the absurd and lovely corners of life, Prince Avalanche is a deeply enjoyable, wondrous delight.” The Playlist
“Here's a funny, poignant oddball of a movie, existing on a galaxy far, far away from the likes of "Pacific Rim” or “World War Z” or anything whose computer-generated actions speak louder than words." Chicago Tribune
“Green fashions a slow-burn charmer that’s a million miles from Pineapple Express in tone, pace and content. But just like that film, the odd couple interplay is beautifully judged.” Total Film
“The psychological path of these characters is finely marked with signposts, but as Prince Avalanche reaches its destination, you almost wish it would have gotten a little more lost in the woods.” Slant Magazine
