- Quotes
Mental Patient: I'm the Creatrist of the universe, but temporarily I'm a Nid.
Melvin: So you're God, basically.
Mental Patient: No - look, God is like a venture capitalist in this equation, okay? The whole thing was my idea and it was basically my business plan, and his money. So I went ahead, I came up with the whole thing, I put it all together, and now he wants me out.
Melvin: So it's like a hostile take over.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Late Night with Conan O'Brien: Greg Kinnear/Bob Odenkirk/Tom Shales (2003)
Featured review
It took me a little time to get used to this movie but when I was in thralls I enjoyed the likeable characters, the believable dialogue and the realism of how you open up over a bottle of wine. A must for any indie movie lovers who enjoy a simple story.
