This flick was one of the funniest things I've seen since Super Troopers. The story is so stupid it's funny. The idea that most people aren't really appreciated until they are dead is what the film is about. He fakes his death and everyone starts saying they miss him and his wit and humor. Don't let other people's reviews fool you. This is one film worth seeing. It is shot very poorly considering Pauly had to fund the whole thing himself, but it doesn't make for a difference. If your heart is in comedy and you remember the great movies of BioDome, Encino Man, Son In Law, then you'll love this flick. Some people right bad reviews based on a dislike of "artsy" films or of Pauly Shore. I don't have a dislike or a like of him. I just know this movie is funny and I know funny when I see it. So trust me, if you want to see something funny and a cult classic, such as Super Troopers or Monty Pythons Holy Grail, see this movie. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
