| Plot: | Victor Mancini, a sex-addicted med-school dropout, who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida, in an expensive private medical hospital by working days as a historical re-enactor at a Colonial Williamsburg theme park. At night, Victor runs a scam by deliberately choking in upscale restaurants to form parasitic relationships with the wealthy patrons who "save" him. When, in a rare lucid movement, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father's identity, Victor enlists the aid of his best friend, Denny and his mother's beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall, to solve the mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever. |

Continuity: When Victor is attempting to feed his mother cannelloni in their first meeting scene, the camera changes angle and she is not wearing the napkins he previously placed under her chin. When the camera moves back to another angle the napkins have miraculously returned. Continuity: In the scene where Victor played the rapist to a woman's fantasy of rape. In the first angle, the frustrated woman grabbed Victor's hand, which was holding the knife, so that it would be placed at her neck, then proceeded to use the vibrator on herself. Then when Victor says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, what about me?" the angle changed and focused on the woman, in which Victor's hand and the knife weren't anywhere to be seen. In the next shot, Victor had his hand and knife at her neck again. |
Quotes

Victor Mancini: What would Jesus *not* do. Victor Mancini: I am the backbone of colonial America! Victor Mancini: We are not born equal sinners, or perfect knock-offs of God. The world tells us whether we're heroes or victims. But, we can decide for ourselves. Phil: You might not think the best way to spend your first day of freedom after a lengthy incarceration would be to immediately resume stalking the tranny hooker who knocked out six teeth and had you put away to begin with. That's how I roll. Internet Date: You don't hit me with a knife, that's called stabbing me! Victor Mancini: And you're right-I'm pathetic. I have sex with strangers because I'm incapable of doing it with someone I actually like. I can't even ask anyone out on a date because if it doesn't end up in a high speed chase, I get bored. I've kept myself numb for so long that now I actually want to feel something and I can't because no matter where I go, no matter what I do, I always end up back here with you. I need to break up, Ma. Victor Mancini: Poodle! Beth: Jesus was all about the idea that people are transformed.Not by being loved... but by the act of loving somebody,no matter how hard it is. Ida J. Mancini: We're not lost! We're pioneers.Blazing a trail through the new fronteir.And if you look very closely you'll see an opportunity to overcome your fear.Listen very closely,theres nothing worth having that comes without a risk.Cause I won't always be around to nag you... sometimes,its not important which way you jump... just that you jump! Paige Marshall: I lied to you,a lot.But I never lied about my feelings. Victor Mancini: I still wonder about Paige. Another beautiful psycho like my mother or a twisted soulmate sent to bring me back to life. Only one way to find out. Victor Mancini: My God... you're crazy! Paige Marshall: No,I'm just... working a few things out. Victor Mancini: Sometimes you have to loose everything before the penny finally drops... or... whatever.So here's what I figured out.We're not evil sinners or perfect knock offs of god.We let the world tell us weather we're saints or sex addicts.Sane or insane.Heroes or victims.Weather we're good mothers,or loving sons.But we can decide for ourselves.As a certain wise fugitive once told me,sometimes its not important which way you jump,just that you jump. Ida J. Mancini: A long time ago in ancient Greece,there was a young girl who fell in love with a young boy from another country.One day word came that the young boy would have to go home.So on their last night together she traced the outline of her lovers shadow,so that she could always remember how he looked on the very last moments they were ever to be together. Victor Mancini: I wish I could say I left the circuit completely behind me, but that wouldn't be entirely true. Lord High Charlie: Fucking Knave! Victor Mancini: As I reclaimed my personal booth at the cafe of diminished expectations, all I had to do was ask myself one simple question: What would Jesus NOT do? Eva Muller: You hurt me, Colin. You touched my woo-woo. |
