Dirt Merchant: Sure, that'd be great. You know, thanks for coming by. It was really nice seeing you and er, congratulations on your new job.
Angie: You really mean it?
Dirt Merchant: Sure. Happy for you Ang.
Angie: Thanks, call me okay? Let's be friends.
Dirt Merchant: Absolutely.

Funny, Funny, Funny

This was a very well scripted movie. Great fun if you just want a stupid film. Not great production value (ok, the sound really sucked) but the performance of Danny Masterson more than makes up for it.

Watch this movie and laugh out loud!
