I cannot express how great of a performance Michael Sheen as art was in this film.
I actually thought he was a genuine person with celebral palsy when I watched it and it wasn't until I went to IMDb that I realised that he was not and I uttered 'Holy crap! that's Michael Sheen!' I kid you not, he really was that believable.
He is also the very best part about the movie, vulgar and hilarious but still charming.
But the lead is of course Ron Livingston and not Michael Sheen, and whenever Art isn't around it simply is not at all as interesting or entertaining.
What feels like a terribly forced romance subplot with Melissa George (whom I usually like) taking up too much of the running time with unnecessary conflicts and in the end just feels pointless and other stuff which I can't go into details without spoiling stuff.
Yul Vasquez as Mike was also pretty good but a missed opportunity not to develop his character further.
In the end it was still watchable but there was potential for so much more.
