I was in this movie as an extra cast as one of the people who "did not quite fit in". Sense this accurately describes me it was fun doing it, but there were things filmed that never made it to the screen. Sometimes the people over the extras did not seem to know themselves what the movie was all about and consequently, the cast (at least the extras) where not sure either. I think it could have been better with better direction. I think it was entertaining if you had and hour to kill but I would not rank it as one of my favorites. I do think that what it attempted to say was important. I think at some point in our lives we all feel like we don't quite fit in. If you can take from this film anything I would hope it would be that it's okay to be unique. You don't have to be a cookie cutter person. I like that.
