Where the Buffalo Roam is a semi-biographical film based on the experiences of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson as he sets off on a crazy trip around the country to cover the main events of the '60s and '70s, including Watergate and the Vietnam War.
[Where the Buffalo Roam] features a number of amusing set-pieces of irreverent lunacy, but lack of serious substance renders film too frivolous and detached from reality.
Mr. Murray is clever whenever he is audible... But the story rambles desperately, and there are times when the screenplay is barely there. Mr. Thompson's only identifiable quality soon becomes facetiousness, and it wears terribly thin.
