    • Trivia
      Contrary to popular belief, Gregory and Shawn have said they are not playing themselves in the film and are merely playing characters with their own names. When asked about it, they said if the opportunity ever came to remake the film, they would switch roles.
    • Goofs
      In some scenes with the back of Wally's head to the camera, the shadow of the boom mic can be seen on his bald head.
    • Quotes

      Andre: A baby holds your hands, and then suddenly, there's this huge man lifting you off the ground, and then he's gone. Where's that son?

    I didn't think it was the masterpiece that some say it is, but it is definitely worth seeing
    This is a very strange film, indeed. There are moments of profoundness, but for the most part there is a lot of nothing. However, I feel like it is worth watching for those few minutes that are absolute gold.
