Ribisi is the lead. This movie blows my mind. It captures the feel of a *beep* small town perfectly. If you like Ribisi you'll love this flick. It's on my top 5 favourite movie list, and hopefully it'll get on yours.

This is my favorite Giovanni flick. I think he does some of his best acting here. If your a guy you might agree you see too much of Giovanni in this movie. You'll see what I mean.
So to answer your question his part is about 4 inches.

That just reminded me of when i showed my friend this movie. He said that Jeff was awesome, except that he had no balls. He kept going on and on about how he would be so awesome, if only he had some balls. Then, he was like, wait, he does.

I agree with mudwhomper.
Giovanni had a large ROLE in this film, but when he dropped his pants, we all realized that his "part" was not very big at all. :)

reply

Even if he wasn't in the movie, you should watch it. It's just a good movie. His part is big, though.

PS
My sis posted under my account again. The person who made the balls comment was my friend, Sam. He liked the movie, and said he relate to Buff... because he's a dumbass.

He is the main character. He was so great, the movie itself was awesome to.

The movie is absolutely farging TITS... Giovani is magnificent.

WORST FILM IN THE WORLD EVER

Great film and an awesome read if you pick up the screenplay.

or the original play by Bogosian. I was stoned in the book store and the cover of the playbook was so odd and crazy that I bought it. Then I didnt even find the shopping bag til like 5 days later, remembered what it was, then read it and loved it. Haven't seen the movie yet, but i cant find it anywhere

reply

i had that problem too. i couldnt find it anywhere. i wound up finally finding it (after about 5 months of looking for it) in the basement of this seedy local rental store in my town.
now i can't find the play and i want to read that... but whatever, i'm happy with just seeing the movie. i've heard the movie and the play are basically the same thing.

My local Big Lots store has about 20 copies sitting on their shelves for $2.99

I just ordered the movie online at Amazon.com about a week ago for about 6 bucks. That's how i've been getting my Giovanni movies. I also just ordered The Other Sister, Shot in the Heart, and The Gift (All Ribisi films) too.

Dearly beloved, are you listening?
