Fat Kid Rules The World

Anybody hear about this film:

http://tuggthefatkid.com/

It is an indie flick directed by Matthew Lillard, you can hear him discussing it on Jay Mohr's podcast (great podcast BTW but more stand-up comedy related than film related):

Although the trailer looks cool, what's really interesting is that they seem to be doing a kind of "Red State" type of release. But instead of going on the road like Kevin Smith did, people can request the film to be shown in their cities. Looks like an interesting way of doing it - and kind of in the same spirit of the movie by looking at the trailer.

As a fat kid (well, man), i was instantly offended by the title. But after actually watching the trailer, i can't wait to see this

I recently turned 30 and have found that I instantly get irritated by "Michael Cera getting nervous around girls type films" (Scott Pilgrim and Youth in Revolt being exceptions) - so it is nice to see a film about young people with fresh ideas.

Have to say that looks interesting, as for Michael Cera any teen film hes in I cannot stand.

Matthew Lillards first feature film directing aswell good career move his acting career certainly wasnt taking him anywhere .

How would we go about requesting an Irish screening? I see the Tugg thing there on the site, but I dunno what the Hell to write in most of it. "First Name"? What does that mean? I am so confused.
