Did you know
ā¢ In order to keep as authentic of an American accent as possible, Cillian Murphy didn't use his true Irish accent on set until the film finished shooting.
ā¢ The entire film was shot in just 22 days.
ā¢ While it did premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007, the film was unable to secure distribution for a theater release and so went straight to DVD.
User reviews
Strange, quirky, cute fluff
Watch it of your own choosing, its hard to recommend a film that has good ideas but poor execution
Cute little caper, but very flawed
