Oh man, this movie is AWESOME! It's one of the best true independent films I've seen in the past few years -- I can't wait for it to get released on DVD (if it ever does). Seek it out wherever you can...it's worth it.

Ghostboy, great review, now i cant wait to see it, Its a damn shame it will probably never come out on DVD.

They play it something like 3 times a semester here at the film series here at CU.  It's just amazing.  

The last time I went, they had a costume and dance contest before the movie.  The details are fuzzy now, just remember it being hilarious.  This guy who must of been 70 won the dancing contest.

I'd consider it prob one of the best independent films i have ever seen.  funny as hell...

I saw this back at the Crossroads Film Festival this year. It was pretty good overall. There are several moments I laughed really, really hard. I was almost hurting from the pain of laughing. But I think the story starts to run out of steam by the end.

Wish I could make it to this.  I saw it a couple of years ago and this is still the all-time champ for most walk-outs I've seen in one screening.  Of a group of maybe 40+, about 15-20 walked out within the first 45 minutes, at least half of them during that one scene when the guy is dancing in the piles of freshly disintegrated people.  Classic.
