A man pursues stand-up comedy encouraged by his fellow garbage man. Though his friend, who accompanies him on accordion, continues to tell him how great he is, he actually stinks.

The characters are good for its genre. Paxton's character is one of the most grimiest and disturbing characters I've seen. Nelson I didn't recognise and was good as his character, who reminded me of pathetic George Mcfly type. Hits all the weird spots OK with some wtf moments. The setting is affective. It's just not a very interesting film. Kind of a stretched out idea with not much to offer journey wise. Fun fact: 2 out of 3 of the large ladies that Paxton's character fools around with were (or maybe still are) plus sized porn actresses.....
