Acting

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski's directorial debut after writing Ed Wood and The People vs. Larry Flynt. The studio reportedly recut it heavily against their wishes.
Released at the absolute peak of Dave Chappelle's 'white people love me' era, right before he walked away from Hollywood entirely. His performance here is a time capsule of that specific 2000 moment.
