Trivia

Directors Ray Burdis and 'Dominic Anciano' prepared a "bible" that detailed all the characters' back stories and motivations. This was sufficiently detailed to eliminate the need for endless rehearsals. Instead, each scene was shot on the first improvisation. New content was then added to each subsequent take to keep the scene fresh and original. See more »

Quotes

Jude: Who was that? What was she doing? Well, I might reveal it... and I might not. I have to keep you on the edge of your seats. You see that's the joy of making a cutting edge film. Real life on celluloid. Stay tuned!

Don't waste your time!
26 November 2004 | by (Chicago, IL) – See all my reviews

I am a huge Jude Law fan and have seen most of his movies. I bought this movie from Amazon.com used and was sadly disappointed. There was no real plot and the acting was sub-par. Jude was barely in the "movie." This was more of a documentary then a movie, with the plot being a man making a movie of his friends from hidden cameras throughout his home. At certain points is was borderline nauseating as a woman sits on the toilet tinkling for well over a minute. Honestly I can't believe that Jude subjected himself to this punishment since the opening was his obituary and wake! If you are a Jude fan or even if you aren't my advice would be not to waste your time and money with this movie. Even if Jude Law wasn't in this movie I would call it one of the worst movies ever made.
