Trivia The "screenplay" for this film famously consisted of one mass, visually daunting flow-chart of ideas circled and connected to each other (in the center of this mass of ideas was written "New Year's Day (Time to Move On)". Typical to Jaglom's style, the actors improvised all the dialogue. See more »

Crazy Credits The end credits play over the character of Drew watching the videotape of Lucy playing with the dolphins. Note: A copy of Jaglom's mentor Orson Welles' biography is clearly visible. See more »
Quotes Drew: [first lines, talking to the camera] Okay, so I was miserable. And I stayed miserable for about a year. And then I decided that I was bored with being miserable. I mean, after a while, how much can you enjoy your own misery?
