John Roach is a tortured genius..........2006-04-10

This is a vulgar yet oddly poignant film. Low budget to be sure, tasteless and unpleasant at times, but not bad. I view it as a tragicomedy, because I moved in that milieu for a time and saw the shattered hopes and dashed dreams of the struggling comics.

And I was once friends with one of the actors, a talented fellow named John Roach, who curiously plays a character named John "Roachy" Galt. A strange homage to Ayn Rand, I assume. It is a fine performance. No one can play Jack like Jack.

Roach is a gifted mimic, but a man born at the wrong time. If he had been born twenty years earlier, he could have been the busiest comic and character actor in the golden age of television. Or maybe not. His demons would still be there, eh, Jack, my old friend.

Do you know who this is, Jack? You are remembered affectionately and fondly, despite what you may think of me.

Godspeed, Jack Roach. Follow your bliss.

Dim Wits.......2005-01-20

I bought this movie a couple of weeks ago for the simple fact that 1) Jim Gaffigan is in it and 2) the critical reviews available online are all very strong.

I think if you bother to watch the movie more than once (which I did because there are so many things happening so fast) you'll see that it's not some sophomoric collection of potty humor. It's actually very sad, uncomfortable and subversive.

This movie is not for everyone, CLEARLY, but if you like raw, independent, dark films, then this is definitely for you. Highly recommended.

Highly disappointed.......2005-01-13

Based on the reviews here and the fact that Jim Gaffigan is in it, I thought this would be a good movie. I ordered it, and it ended up being horrible.

Jim Gaffigan plays a small role, and is funny, but not worth sitting through the rest of this bad movie. Also despite what the reviewer above says, this is nothing like spinal tap. I might recommend this movie if you were 12 years old, or slightly retarded.

Next Cult Classic.......2004-07-02

GOD IS THIS SUBVERSIVE! This is the most riotously funny discovery to rock me off the chair. If comedy means your face hurts from laughing and your mind is @#$%^&, then OMIGOD, why isn't this in theaters?!?!?! Better that it ISN'T. Let it be a way cool little secret that no one else knows about....

One of the future classics!.......2004-05-07

If you are a fan of Spinal Tap, you will LOVE this movie. It's not like anything else - very unique in its humor. It's very,very dark and very smart. You'll pee yourself laughing. TONS of amazing extras and one of the best director's commentaries I've ever heard. Well worth the cost.
