Used car salesman has an irresistible calling to produce a movie

This is an incredibly under-rated comedic gem of a movie. Although it has appeared on several Top 10 lists, it was carelessly ignored by the sell-out lemmings at the Independent Spirit Awards. Patrick Warburton's performance as Richard Hudson is a tour de force. He does great justice to Charles Willeford's original portrayal. See this movie!!!

Patrick Warburton, aka Putty, in faithful pulp fiction

I saw this film at this year's Seattle International Film Festival. It was one of the films I had been looking forward to as I had heard about it in the NYTimes program ads for the NY Film Festival.The cinematography is pretty good and the b/w grain is outstanding. Another mention has to go to the soundtrack as it is some of the better cocktail/lounge music mixed with some other stuff (I think Latin) that was also very good at contributing to the feel of the picture. I've heard that they are debating releasing the film only in color and otherwise balking at sticking to the b/w release, which would really be a shame because this film really is complemented by the b/w print.But the film really belongs to Patrick Warburton. I loved him as David Putty on SEINFELD, but I think he was able to get the same comic element to this character while stretching into new territory. It's hard to believe someone could get so much out of squinting his eyes, but somehow he manages the feat.While the rest of the cast are relatively unknown, they contribute in very nice ensemble, character-acting ways to the feel of the film.It's not a *great* film, but if you are looking for something outside of the mall, cineplex fare that will dominate the summer film season, this is definitely worth a look.
