I saw this underwhelming and gratingly pretentious no-budget indie comedy at a screening at Butler University in 2006.
Why it doesn't work: the bargain basement Kevin Smith dialogue continually fails at being witty ("Bruce Willis' character is really dead!"), the cast is a zoo of amateur desperate-to-impress actors, and production values are almost zero (works for Smith sometimes, few others).
Judging by the decidedly lukewarm audience reaction at the Butler, I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Go rent Clerks or something resembling a "real" movie instead.
