      Audience Member Its neat to see how Troma's own twisted Walt Disney, Lloyd Kaufman, got his start. This is not at all what you'd expect it to be. This feels more like a cross between a Paul Morrissey/Warhol production and an early Woody Allen film than a Troma movie. While it has an undeniably goofy cheapo exterior, it has a definite seriousness to be found within. The social commentary is spot-on, and the documentary-esque moments interspersed throughout are an excellent touch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Lloyd Kaufman (the creator of "Toxie" and Troma) wrote, directed, produced, wrote the music, edited and stars in this film about a poor guy who is troubled by life and love in the big city. The film is very different from most in that it incorporates both fictional and (could be fictional) interview footage into the narative. I walked away with the feeling that the city (New York) is a cold place and so is the modern world! But that's just one man's opinion!
