Tapioca (2009)
An insane homeless guy turns the world upside down for a blowhard. Tapioca is a funny, raunchy romp, a quirky, comic tale of redemption starring Broadway legend Ben Vereen (Roots), Tim Kazurinsky (Saturday Night Live), Greg Hollimon (Strangers With Candy) and a crazy cast of Second City veterans.

Sadly Over-hyped
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
I just saw this and have to say that it was great! I wasn't sure what to expect after the first 15 minutes, but it takes you on a neat little ride that is very timely. The movie is about homeless people. A lot of imagination went into this little film. It's nothing like the comedies being made today. It sort of has an old school feel to it and reminds me of comedies like the Blues Bros and early Ivan Reitman films. I think the musical score made me feel that way. I see on here that the film was made for only 100k. That is amazing to me. I does feel low budget, but nowhere near that number. There isn't a whole lot of Chicago landmark stuff to be seen in the film, but it has a certain flavor to it that makes it very unique. If you are from Chicago and you are a fan of sketch comedy buy or rent this movie. You will recognize a lot of Chicago comedians in it. Second City actors and improvisers shine. David Pasquesi has some very funny scenes. Can't wait to see what these guys do next.
