    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Writer/director/star Linas Phillips also appeared in Chapter 24 (2013) of Linas Phillips three years before the release of Rainbow Time (2016) in which he plays a character named Shawnsee, remarkably close to Shonzi.
    • Goofs
      When Lindsay greets Justine and Pizza (the wheelchair-bound Corgi) outside of the apartment, Pizza is referred to by Justine with female pronouns. In the closing scene where Shonzi meets Justine and Pizza on the street, Pizza is referred to by Justine with male pronouns. Presumably, this error occurred because two dog actors were used for the role of pizza (Chaz The Corgi and Lolita The Corgi).
    • Quotes

      Shonzi: I'm a disappointment to you.

      Peter: What? You're not a disappointment. You can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but you're not a disappointment. You are a good son. You took care of mom. You're taking care of me. You're my man.

    Deeply disturbing and *not comedy*
    I don't usually "hate" movies, but this is one of them. I hated all of the manipulation from the older brother towards his girlfriend and brother. His brother may have some kind of disability - never really explained other than having him having his head being rolled over by his brother when he (brother) backed out of his driveway. The BROTHER was the truly sick one. He seemed to have no remorse over damaging his brother so seriously. The satanic brother's girlfriend tried to be amenable throughout but she represents the standard trope of a very naïve and well... stupid woman. I hated all the characters in this film and I cannot find one redeeming quality to this show. Even the father turned out to be a sick SOB. Awful, awful. UGH!
