Unless you understand the concept of the Paperboy2000 you won't get the drift of Chris Elliot movies.

Humor, like pornography is impossible to define, but I know it when I see it.

Except it Humor, like pornography is impossible to define, but I know it when I see it. This movie meets the classic definition of pornography: "a creative activity of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire." Except it doesn't stimulate any desires at all, except perhaps that of self-loathing and self-immolation for subjecting one-self to this multimedia abortion.
