Trivia
Screenplay written by Gordy Hoffman, Philip Seymour's brother.

Goofs
When Wilson goes into the garage, his wife's car is still there. He looks down at the exhaust pipe to see it has been stuffed with rags. This was her apparent method of suicide. However, blocking the tailpipe of a car won't cause a backup of fumes. The engine will not start when the tailpipe is blocked.

Quotes
Model Boat Man: HEY! There's no swimming today!
Wilson Joel: Do you know who I am?
[pause]
Wilson Joel: I am a big fan of Radio Control!

Phillip Seymour Hoffman carried this movie brilliantly

This movie had decent directing, decent story, well done cinematography. The only thing that really made it worth watching was Seymour Hoffman's awesome performance. The movie was a bit quiet at times, I think there was a point in the movie when not a word was said for at least ten minutes. But if your someone who'll see a movie just for the acting, than this one is worth renting, probably not buying though, it's far too depressing.
