Chasing the Blues

Rival music collectors scheme against one another to con a woman out of a rare blues record - and end up serving two decades in jail. Once Alan Thomas is a free man, he heads by bus to retrieve the legendary album, which is rumored to drive listeners insane. A rollicking Chicago-made comedy featuring SNL alumnus Jon Lovitz, Chasing the Blues is a funny, surprising trip about the extremes to which people will go in pursuit of their obsessions.
