Vaguely remember enjoying this film when I saw it many years ago. I’ve tried searching for it, but it doesn’t seem to be out on DVD. Does anyone know if it is available, maybe as an import (I live in the UK), or if there are any plans to release it?

Thanks,

Aagramn.

Love the short story, but I’d never heard of the movie. First, how’d they stretch that into a movie? And second, Sean Austin?!?

It’s pretty loosely based on the short story, which I only read the other day when searching around trying to find the name of the film. There is a scene set in a chess brothel.

Yeah, I laughed when I realised it was Sean “Want taters with that?” Austin. He’s a bit taller in this one.

I saw it a few weeks ago on, I think, UPN. It wasn’t bad. It came off like the made-for-cable movie that it was, but at least they didn’t go tacking on some joyful ending or anything like that.

In his Entertainment Weekly review of The Incredibles, Lisa Schwarzbaum writes:

I looked at that and marveled, so to speak, how she managed to miss the allusion to “Harrison Bergeron.”
