If you are a Mitch Hedberg fan then this movie is definitely for you! This movie is hard to find, in fact I had a VHS copy sent to me by Mitch Hedbergs manager or someone I had gotten in contact with on his website, but then I lost it and I am now in search of another copy of it.
The movie has its slow parts and the plot is a bit shaky but the jokes and one liners and random crap going on in the movie is just hilarious. I can count two scenes I remember when all the characters break out into dancing for no apparent reason at all, and the dancing they are doing is horrible, yes, horrible, and you will just find yourself laughing for reasons beyond your comprehension. But you have to watch the movie to know what I mean. There are a couple jokes from Mitch's stand up routine in here also. I wish Dave Attel's character stayed in the movie longer, regardless every scene he is in is hilarious. Also Todd Barry, a lesser known comedian, is in this too. He plays a hotel manager at the Hotel where Hedberg's character Lee is staying. The scene between Hedberg and Barry when Mitch is leaving for work the first morning is one of my favorite, "How come the breakfast buffet ain't got no OJ man?" "Awe I take that s*** for myself." Watch this movie, and if you are not satisfied watch it again, trust me. Its like hearing the new song from a band you love and not liking it the first time you hear it but then hearing it again and again and then falling in love with it.

I really believe Mr. Hedberg's heart is on his sleeve in this movie. Nice jabs against capitalism - interesting characters - decent storyline. It was hard to hear some of the dialogue due to the low-quality audio; but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Mitch Hedberg (I wrote out his name due to the minimum character limit imposed by this site) produced this with his own money (which is pretty obvious - don't be looking for high-production value here - in ways similar to Fast Times at Ridgemont High). I saw an interview of Mitch Hedberg and you could see that the film meant a lot to him and he was proud of the script. Dude is legend - wish he had others onboard with him - the same script could have been more polished and subsequently more appreciated.
I though maybe this was a case of a decent movie that didnt get the exposure it needed and never got popular. Nope... It's just badly done throughout. The acting (if it can be called that) ranges from "meh" to terrible. Really bad music. Bad dialog. Tried watching this three times and couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of it. Yes it is bad. Skip it you aren't missing anything
Where has this movie been my entire life? I don't think i started fully functioning and even properly breathing and living until I saw this movie. It's great, the perfect movie even, but you wouldn't expect anything else from Mitch Hedberg himself. The casting was amazing, and the script is greatly written. The great writers and director masterminds of Hollywood couldn't even think, let alone phantom of creating such a beautiful movie. Some people may try and tell you that just because you like his stand up, you don't have to watch this movie, but no, NAY! I object! Even if you don't somehow know who Mitch is, you should still see this movie. I would sell my firstborn child and my left kidney to be able to get a physical copy of this phenomenal movie. Thank you Mitch for this.
This movie went nowhere; Like a puddle on the concrete after a hot summer rain it was shallow and dried up quick. Don't know why this movie currently ranks above a 3. Mitch Hedberg's stand up was funny, but he was still lacking serious popularity - His "life style" issues and subsequent death didn't help. I never laughed once at this movie, not even a chuckle and I nearly fell asleep waiting for any spark of a plot. Centering the theme around a fast food restaurant is lame. Maybe if Mitch would have incorporated his humor/jokes into this movie, added some romance, a love story and most of all any resemblance of a main plot it might have had some redeeming value. As it was, watching a pack of mutts going in circles sniffing their butts would have been funnier. Jana Johnson (Amy) was the only bright spot - should have been a love interest of a romance story, and "Amy" could have had some physical sex appeal. Perhaps it ranks higher than its worth because of Mitch's death just as he was showing signs of blossoming - Mitch Hedberg fans are emotionally confused and objectivity went out the window. Mitch said he submitted his script to several movie makers and it was rejected, I can understand why.

- TriviaThree different local restaurants were used to portray the film's restaurant; one for the dining room scenes, a second for the kitchen scenes, and a third for the outside of the restaurant, which was a Chi-Chi's that Mitch actually worked at many years before and was the main inspiration for the film.
