If you haven't had your mind blown in a while, then I think it is time. The trouble of finding an independent theater in your area playing this film is worth it. We loved this movie, mostly due to the shock that Billy Mitchell is a real member of society and not a character of Ben Stiller's. the plot is rich with deciet, wierdness and a 70 year old man who wears a referee uniform and runs an organization called twin galaxies. These are the things that make movie magic. check it out here.
