Buster Keaton meets R.E.M. in the weirdest double date cinema ever invented.
Buster Keaton’s 1924 comedy classic is reimagined with R.E.M. 's alt-rock masterpieces Monster (1994) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996).

He uses his limited skills when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket watch.
