You have to be a Chiropractor or a Coen Brothers freak to know about and to get this film. It's a deranged Superhero Comic Book on film. It is hysterically funny if you get it. If not, I can understand the confusion. Fargo it ain't. Nevertheless one of my favorite films. Just met Rapaport and had him sign a few VHS copies. Great Film!

This movie could have been good but it got a little too ridiculous. If you want to see Michael Rapaport floating in the air nude and doing summersaults several times for no reason than this is the movie for you. If not, you may want to skip this one.

What a strange film, a bit on the prentious side, also a bit fascinating as well. Good effort, but just doesn't work completely. Nicely acted, but just a little too strange.
