Trivia:
This is based on an accidental documentary shot by the director. The story happened just as it happens in the film (other than the airing of the talent show on TV), and occurred entirely by circumstance when the director walked out into the news station parking lot to test a video camera and found the kid. moreSoundtrack:

I just saw this the other night. To try to clarify, this is 3 short films. The first one is, I believe, actual video footage of the Beaver Kid, the subject of the 3 films. The second film, is Sean Penn, doing his impression, almost scene for scene, of the Beaver Kid. The third is the most movie-like of the three, starring Crispin Glover as the Beaver Kid (Orkly Kid?).
Hilarious. The first is a riot in itself.
Both that follow are great. There are a lot of laughs, and it's pretty dark comedy, so look out. Crispin Glover's performance in the 3rd is excellent. It's so talented, he has the Beaver boy down pat.
