Ripa (Sam Huber) is an honest con-man, if there is such a thing. He honestly wants money so that he can make the kinds of sexy and violent films he wants to make. He can't seem to get any from his ex-wife, and the state film board won't front any. He has been getting by on little loans from his ex-wife, who wants her money back. He has also been getting some loans from a friend of his who makes gay porn films. He wants repayment, too, in the form of Ripa's appearance in some of his films. Despite his precarious situation, as this comedy opens, it seems like he will somehow manage to get by, but increasingly outrageous encounters put him completely over the edge, and into a very peculiar angelic state. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
