[DVD Details]
 
 
  • On a spiritual quest for the truth, a bewildered young man encounters a strong dose of reality in this quirky and hilarious comedy. When Redmond (Kevin Corrigan) finds himself out of home and job, his life becomes a series of unpredictable escapades--from dodging gunfire after his uncle (James Woods) makes him deliver a highly suspicious package, to pursuing a moody stewardess (Linda Fiorentino) he thinks has come to save him. Soon Redmond begins to suspect his road of mishap might actually be the path to truth he has been seeking all along.

    Not exactly a sophomore jinx, but certainly a disappointing follow up to Matthew Harris's striking debut, Rhythm Thief; the acting, though, is good.

    Nothing seemed to really work well, yet all the supporting characters seemed to be pleasant and trying their best to make things work.
