Member Rating:  
A certified loser sets out to prove that he's "a real somebody" by procuring the three items that his childhood hero claims every winner has in this morbid comedy from writer/director Simon R. Ennis. Hard as he may try, Robert R. Mutt (Joshua Pearce) can never catch an even break; after failing to take his own life, he's kicked out of Riverside Mental Hospital for being too happy. Desperate to live up to his potential and prove that he's not a loser, Robert seeks out the advice of former local baseball superstar Clinton Manitoba (Michael Madsen). According to Clinton, there are three things a man needs to be whole: a woman, a nice wad of cash, and a championship ring. In no time, Robert has gotten mixed up in the drug racket, hooked-up with a roller-skating transvestite, and entered into an air hockey tournament. It may not be the most conventional path to success, but perhaps if Robert can stay true to his goal he can finally prove that he isn't the biggest nitwit in town. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Very funny in an uncomfortable sort of way. Story was a little weak. There is a message in this movie (you will have to watch). Several unexpectedly entertaining twists. Pace was a little slow in places. For an indie the acting was mostly good all around. Joshua Pearce as Robert was real fun to watch. Michael Madsen was knock out. Clark Johnson as the orderly was spot on. Not for kids.

    Don't mind the easily offended reviews, this movie is simply funny. Better than almost all other comedies that have been released lately.
