    • The story:
    Robert has just been fired from his job as a janitor - he's been replaced by a machne. His girlfriend dumps him, he gets evicted from his house, and nobody likes his book. All these thing together make him mad - so he goes up to his bosses office to demand his job back. He end's up kidnapping the bosses daughter, and a hilarious adventure ensues.

    Best quote:
    Male angel/furniture remover: "We've come about the furniture? to be repossessed?"
    Female angel/furniture remover: "We can do this with violence, or without violence - its up to you"
    Robert: "Oh - without please."
    (I'm not sure if thats exactly how it goes - if anyone can be bothered to correct me, I'm happy to change it)


    Best scene:

    Ewan McGregor's leg was not harmed in any way during the production of this film. Well, I mean, I'm sure he didin't feel a thing anyway.
