When you have a very limited budget, you'd better concentrate on hiring a fine cast, and if you have a fine cast it then all comes down to your script and directing prowess.
It is difficult to like the characters here, they are either manic depressive or funny but unreliable loonies, and the story is not that engaging. A great main character could turn the most common of stories into a spellbinding fairy tale, or you could have a transparent hero beamed up by a fantastic story. But in this little indie flick you got the very lack of creative talent that is used as laughing stock in the beginning.
All in all this looks like an average cinema student project, except that this student had the right connections to make it happen and make the whole world able to see how off the mark he is.
