While its satire is so explicit many might dismiss it right away; there's still plenty to admire in this micro-budget comedy. For example: in a crucial scene where our anti-hero Frank (Joel Murray) is about to kill a teenage girl after having seen her on an episode of a TV show very similar to MTV's My Super Sweet 16, where she complained about receiving a Lexus instead of her much wanted Escalade, he stuffs a rag into her gas tank and lights it up in hopes of blowing up the spoiled teenager a long with the hated Lexus. Frank walks away happy and with a sense of proudness. As soon as he turns around his hopes are shattered because the rag has flown away and he has to stomp out the flaming rage while the girl is heard by others screaming in the car. In an act of desperation Frank runs towards the car and shoots her in the back of the head. The best aspect of this scene is how it comments on independent filmmaking. With a car explosion clearly out of budget Bob Goldthwait has to settle for blowing the girls brains out.
haha - good point about the low budget..settling for blowing her brains out lol
