This is a movie that everyone should see. Given the seemingly insatiable appetite for reality TV that somehow still manages to exist, the only question here is who will pick this film up and turn it into an actual show. The satire is broad at times and subtle at others yet the message that comes through is that anyone will do anything for their 15 minutes of fame and in the USA today this is unquestionably so. The story was well laid out, the actors all did a great job and kudos to the actors in the film with actual "special needs". The movie definitely sends a message out about society in general today. Great job on what I'm sure was a labor of love. To those who don't get it, watch it again! To those who did get it, consider yourself part of a "special" group!
