A Hilarious real life adventure of a man on a comedic journey, 30 August 2002

Stephen Burrows does a magnificent job in this title role while also directing the film. You can see the authenticity of his character. It is great to see Burrows put such heart and soul in to a comedy. The thumb is definitely up for this one. How about Traci Lords? She has come a long way and you see it in this movie. She does a fantastic job. Let's not forget all of the Cameo's! Star after star appear in this one. Let's get this one to the Theater's Miramax! It's time to put a new talent in the public's eye, Stephen Burrows!
