A Jones for Indiana
by possibly noteworthy at 12:27 pm EDT, Jul 6, 2007

Americans love gumption. We believe that stupid ideas become brilliant ones if you just keep working on them with bullish tenacity.

Filled with ingenious contraptions and overweening jerry-rigs, "The Adaptation" remakes "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on less than 1/2,000th of Paramount's original $20 million budget, conjuring exotic locales out of cardboard sets in parents' basements, casting tweens in Boy Scout uniforms as Nazi bad guys, and rolling a gigantic hand-crafted boulder through the family garage to create the film's signature scene. Nothing short of slapdash spectacular, The Adaptation is indie (or Indy?) filmmaking taken to its greatest and most sublimely ridiculous extreme.
