This wasn't the best, worst, or weirdest movie I've seen this week but still weird enough to be enjoyable for me. The acting was campy and good, Bill Paxton's character was perfectly annoying as the main character's best 'friend'. This movie is sort of a cruel and painful tapestry of exploitation, deformity, and misfortune. A comedian who doesn't seem to realize that he's terrible is gullible enough to be roped into a sordid number of entrepreneurial endeavors not unlike the television show "Tom Goes to the Mayor". The camera work was interesting at times and the sets used the right colors, though not lush still evocative. The overall feeling this movie left me with was hope despite the series of horrible and terrible things that keep getting worse, or better, or worse or whatever.
