: : One minute you're a low-down convenience store clerk who finds himself faking that he's a film director with a movie which laughs at life as a low-down convenience store clerk. The next minute, you're being paid to direct a film you wrote which boasts Alan Rickman, Bud Cort, Alan Rickman, George Carlin, Alan Rickman and Ben Affleck. That's got to make one stop and reflect every now and again.
