Dogtown is a 1997 American drama film by George Hickenlooper about life in the small town of Cuba, Missouri starring Mary Stuart Masterson, Jon Favreau, Rory Cochrane, Harold Russell, and Natasha Gregson Wagner.

Taking advantage of his newfound fame, he attempts to impress an old unrequited crush who has fallen on hard times.

[2] Hickenlooper intentionally tried to make Ezra Good, Jon Favreau's character, compelling and worthy of the audience's interest despite his racism.

[4] Dogtown premiered at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival in April 1997.

[1] Todd McCarthy of Variety called it an "occasionally amusing" melodrama that pales in comparison to The Last Picture Show.
