Trivia:
Kevin Costner was considered for the role of Heep. However, Paul Giamatti accepted the part before they contacted Costner (Giamatti was really the first option). moreGoofs:
Continuity: Before Cleveland Heep dives into the pool after Story, he takes his glasses off. After Story saves him, his glasses appear and disappear during shots, especially during the sequence where he is talking to the tenants. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Cleveland Heep: Once, man and those in the water were linked. They inspired us. They spoke of the future. Man listened and it became real. But man does not listen very well. Man's need to own everything led him deeper into land. The magic world of the ones that lived in the ocean...

Utterly incoherent, pretentious codswallop that would make Buneul's Discreet Charm of the Bourgeousie an exercise in realism in comparison. Why this deranged man (M Night Shamalama) didn't follow his family's advice and become a doctor would be a far better topic of tragic discussion than spending another nano-second trying to analyze why he has so much contempt for his audience. What is evident to me is the fact that the inflated audience scores on IMDb and metacritic for this waste of celluloid could only be the result of M Night sitting in front of his lap top, frothing from the mouth, while repeatedly registering under different names to give his own movie one score of 10 after another. Have you noticed how most of the people who gave the movie 10 happen to ONLY have reviewed one movie...this one?!
