Fantastic movie. Great cast. Understated, beautifully written. The star is outstanding (Mark Greenfield) as are the supporting cast members. This is one of those movie's that are great that has not gotten the attention it deserves. A better portrayal of losers in America would be hard to find. Dark but very funny. The movie makes of a little mattress store in a mall a microcosm of lower working class America. It shows both the despair and the attitude that is oddly brave in the sustaining role of male friendships in making of lives that are seemingly unbearable - bearable. This is quite a feat since the movie portrays these men as doing dark deeds with strangely good hearts. And the contrast is drawn between their amoral morality and the more evil immorality of life's winners. It is like uncovering a rock, finding this movie, and discovering a fascinating world beneath.
