Noted independent film producer Peter McCarthy made his writing and directing debut (Angie_Brown served as co-director) with this surreal comedy. John Boyz (James LeGros) is an aimless sad sack who is wandering Los Angeles in the wake of the 1992 riots. John is in an unclear state of mind; he can't find a job (and doesn't really want one), the IRS has confiscated his money, his girlfriend Jessica (Lisa_Zane) is sleeping around, he can't figure out what the beautiful but mysterious Elle (Marzita_Rivera) wants from him, his drug-addicted brother Jimmy (Ethan_Hawke) needs 3,000 dollars for a detox program, and police chief Merryl Fence (Nelson_Lyon) is encouraging the citizens of L.A. to kill themselves. A stellar roster of actors and musicians appear in cameo roles, including John_Cusack, Steve_Buscemi, Billy_Bob_Thornton, Viggo_Mortensen, Jeremy_Piven, Dave_Navarro, Dave_Alvin, and Exene_Cervenka. Mark Deming, Rovi
