This film is not entertainment. This film is not for escapism. This film is not for mass consumption. (Although the Coneheads of SNL may be a good example of those more in-touch with any phenomena that can bring joy to your life). This film is - and can be - a notably thought provoking opportunity to accept our limitations of truly creative thinking. Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics is here. It has arrived.

The challenge of listening to these talking heads - awkwardly mixed in with the story line - can be absolutely inspiring, joyful, and a touch of sanity in a world that has gone stagnant with divisive and rigid assumptions about where we came from, where we are, where we're going, and the big WHY of human consciousness and life.

With a little help - and distraction - from his friends, Josh succeeds in satisfying our urge to cheer for the underdog while we laugh and groan at his self-defeating tactics to be creative in spite of the temp's office routine. This is also one of the funniest representations of the stereotypical lawyer as evil, secretary pool people as party pals, and the artist must create or implode - which ultimately challenges every existential angst Kirkegaard et al could have
