Dinner In America
An unlikely friendship sparks between Simon, a rebellious drifter with ties to the punk scene, and Patty, an awkward but fiercely passionate young woman obsessed with music. As the two outsiders navigate family pressures, personal struggles, and their own search for belonging, they discover an unexpected connection that inspires them to embrace who they truly are. Funny, heartfelt, and unapologetically original, Dinner in America is a wildly entertaining punk-rock romance that celebrates individuality and finding your people.
“Dinner in America, written, directed, and edited by Adam Rehmeier, is a movie with anti-establishment anti-social quicksilver coursing through its veins, but at its heart it is a sweet love story, one of the sweetest in recent memory.”
Sheila O’Malley, RogerEbert.com
“Rehmeier gives this conventionally unconventional romance some surprises and twists, upending expectations early on and never letting “Dinner in America” settle into “predictable.”
Roger Moore, Movie Nation
“Its content, humor, and heart all merge to deliver a piece with the potential for cult appeal that transcends the act itself. It’s a treatise on America, the blurred line between taboo and cruelty, and our collective fear of real individuality despite claims by both sides of the aisle to foster freedom. The outcasts get their day.”
