Jimmy O'Brien works in the stockroom of a grocery store, where he is reminded of his powerlessness by his boss.

It is not until open-mike night at the local comedy club that he allows himself to do what he needs to do: run off at the mouth.

Thoroughly entertaining and creative. Whaley comprehends the humor of tragedy perfectly well. Despite the tragic nature of every aspect of this film it never fails to lose sight of hope. While many could turn a tragic story into something depressing and cynical, Whaley never loses sight of the hope and making the best of ALL the undesirable aspects of life. It's a life lesson. The script is fantastic, hilarious at times, and the acting is outstanding. One of the best low budget films I've seen.

unremittingly tragic and depressing. jimmy persistently fights to have a life and express himself in spite of one failure after another due to his emotional tone deafness, denial and blind spots. he may be fatally depressed but he expresses it with a compelling vehemence.
