I put in the spoiler alert just because I talk about some major themes, though not necessarily the entire plot. 8 out of 16 found this helpful. None of this stuff truly works for George; he has dreams, but he is afraid to follow them, because he is lead to believe that if he does he will definitely explode. I was skeptical of what seemed, from previews, like a plot that reached too far and relied on shock value but I was wrong, the film is beautiful and the absurdity comes from a real and painful place.

Please go see and support it so that we can get more movies like this in the future!
After failing at a prestigious French clowning college, Chip Baskets looks to keep his dream of becoming a professional clown alive.
If you want to watch it for ZG or have a penchant for movies that make you think go ahead full steam, otherwise just wait for the next ZG one, now that he's almost famous. Was this review helpful? And you would see what your life could become if you don't pay attention...so true...it did surprise me, and there are unfinished moments, some moments in which the "resolution" hangs in the air, and you fill in with your own end to the moment, and then see that the movie turns another way instead...it could have been done in an even more "true" way though, especially more on the "dream" side, which seems kind of empty...even though it's there! Not a bad direction, mind youone that was just softer, compassionate, more introspective, though rather less focused. Zack's delivery is perfect, delivering both the tender heart-break and the intelligent humor of the script at the same time.
The best example of a true black comedy is "Dr. Strangelove". I don't really give anything away though. It is a movie you have to sit down and watch by yourself or a few friends. The film, which premiered on June 12, 2008, was shot in Snoqualmie, Washington and surrounding areas. Was this review helpful?

When people begin exploding from stress, George Washington Winsterhammerman tries to ignore the epidemic and live his usual life, but then he suffers his first symptom. Was this review helpful? However, he did an amazing job, playing the character, rather than playing his comedy persona.
I suppose if you consider an Orwellian world where employees give each other "the finger" as a greeting because of the power and status of the Jeffers company and logo, then sure, it's original. An incumbent Representative embroiled in personal scandal faces a no-holds-barred challenge from a naive newcomer funded by two unscrupulous billionaire lobbyist brothers. 6 out of 11 found this helpful.
Now, he may be best known his bizarre and scandalous lifestyle. "Brazil", "Dr. Strangelove", "The Trial" and "Catch-22" are perhaps the greatest films of this category, and if you've seen any of them you probably know what an odd experience they are. Around the world, people are exploding as the stress of denying feelings takes its toll. 12 out of 25 found this helpful. The movie does have quirky and odd elements that may turn some people off, but for many others, those things make it all the better. The "quirky humor" stops being quirky or humorous almost immediately. I could see this film a hundred times over, and hope to do so once it's released! Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site?
It shows how absurd society has become by taking the things that are wrong with it and super sizing them. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Was this review helpful? Unfortunately as the story progresses it degenerates into a low budget clone of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil".
Mr. Jack attempts... Tech tycoon John McAfee made millions from his antivirus software.
Visioneers opens with a stale, lifeless office environment on the 3rd level of the Jeffers corporation, which is the "friendliest and most profitable corporation" ever. A little of both, I guess. I have not watched Brazil or read 1984, so I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt it is similar; but it's not like every movie released in theaters hasn't been done in one way shape or form.
Kurt Vonnegut fans will love this film (especially those of Cat's Cradle).
George and his wife are miserable: he's impotent with occasional fits of infantile pique. See agents for this cast & crew on IMDbPro Directed by .

IMDb TV IMDb Originals Latest Trailers. They think they're being all subversive and such but fail to understand that requires having a point to your argument. The Jeffers Corporation is a world success, endorsed by the U.S. President, pitching productivity and happy talk. The story follow George Washington Winsterhammerman (Zach G.) as he floats through his day-to-day life without any real passion, all the while trying to avoid "exploding," which the world around him continually claims to be able to prevent by following various self-help books, buying the latest gadget or toy, and staying productive; basically, not truly living in any real sense.
For attempting to make a movie like this and picking ZG before he was famous, this movie gets my 7/10.
