The Go-Getter debuted on January 22, 2007, at the Sundance Film Festival and was given a limited theatrical release on June 6, 2008, by Peace Arch Entertainment.
Ward provided most of the music for the film, complemented by songs from The Black Keys, Elliott Smith, The Replacements, and Animal Collective. Filming took place between October and November 2005 in Oregon, Nevada, California, and Mexico. Before production began, Hynes and three other crew members traveled to almost every location visited in the film to perform a test shoot, trying various filming styles and techniques. After his mother died, and his marriage ended, he took a road trip of his own and wrote "different things," some of which came together in the script for The Go-Getter. The story was based partially on Hynes's own experiences.
He communicates with the car's owner, Kate (Deschanel), via her cell phone while he travels. In the film, 19-year-old Mercer (Pucci) steals a stranger's car to embark on a road trip to find his estranged brother and tell him that their mother has died. The film stars Lou Taylor Pucci, Zooey Deschanel, and Jena Malone.
However, the person playing him was never the same and exactly who Cappy was and his personality was not consistent either.The Go-Getter is a 2007 American independent road film directed and written by Martin Hynes. There have been at least three other films with this character in it. *Cappy Ricks is NOT an original character to this film. The other possibility is that the writer suffered a traumatic brain injury! All I know is that the film really, really lost my attention and all my good will when it abruptly changed. The second half is simply horrible-dumb, unlikable and silly. This portion was intelligently written and inspiring. As for Bill, he just puts up with it! Late in the film, after Bill marries, the demands Cappy places on him are just insane.INSANE!! I almost wonder if the original writer died or was abducted by aliens midway through the film. From this abrupt change, Cappy doesn't just behave irrationally but this nice old guy (Charles Winninger) becomes cruel and vicious and takes pleasure tormenting Bill. Now to make it even more confusing, Cappy had nothing against Bill initially, he just wants his daughter to NEVER marry! What?!?! What parent longs to have their daughter become an old maid?! And, if they do decide to marry, wouldn't you be happy that they are marrying someone you really, really like and respect?! This plot twist is just insane. Although Cappy LOVED Bill through most of the film, suddenly Cappy hates him because Bill has asked Cappy's daughter (Anita Louise) to marry him. And, because I had been enjoying it so much, it really was frustrating to watch. However, the plot and the personality of one of the main characters COMPLETELY CHANGED-so much so that it showed very bad writing. The plot was a bit like a Horatio Alger tale about hard work, determination and success.
THE MOUSEKETOOLS IN THE GO GETTERS MOVIE
At this point in the film, I was enjoying the movie quite a bit.
Well, it turns out that Bill is amazing at his job-yet the President still seems to have it out for Bill. Finally, he meets with the retired boss, Cappy Ricks* (Charles Winninger), who takes a liking to him and pushes for the new President to give Bill a chance. However, Bill is a real go-getter and when the boss of a corporation turns him down, he tries with several other folks at the same corporation. Now in the job market once again, he's having a hard time finding work. One of the crew, Bill (George Brent), loses a leg in the accident and because of this he's honorably discharged from the Navy. Unfortunately, as in real life, the dirigible crashed. When the film begins, the airship Macon is in flight.
