An academic obsessed with "roadside attractions" and his tv-star daughter finally discover the world's largest ice cream cone, the centerpiece for an old gold-rush town struggling to stay on the map. They end up staying longer than expected because of an accident that spilled an unknown cola ingredient all over the highway. They spend the next few days with the various residents of the town which include a teenage girl who loves to blow things up and a boy trying to keep alive his fathers dream of building a beachside resort in the middle of the desert.

Brilliant and touching
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
i really did like this movie. it's totally cheesy and teeny-bobberish, but it's cute. casey affleck is great and so is kate hudson. i rented this movie and watched it like 5 times over the course of my 5-day rental. gotta get my money's worth and i feel like i did.
"Desert Blue" has virtually everything a film can offer; a skillfully evoked setting, characters who imbed themselves in your consciousness, passion and scope. Freeman did a brilliant job directing.This will be in my Top 10 - to watch again and again
I found this movie to be okay. The story line was pretty good. The acting was fairly good. It may prove to be a training film for some promising young actors. Being from the east coast, it gave an interesting depiction of what it's like to live in a small, desert town.
Wholly unoriginal film, can be compared to a hundred different indie flicks. Did have a few bright moments, however... Well-cast and well-acted (for the most part)... The ending is quite terrible, though.
