Based on a true story, everything happened exactly as you see it in this film. It is real time also, so it all happened in 12 minutes and 35 seconds. Meet Miss Frog, Mr. Wizard, Mr. Biker in a tree, the car jumping neighbor, Donovan, the Rock God and others in this spirited comedy that breaks every film rule and keeps you laughing the whole way.
