Goofs
When Connie drives past the Elmhurst Hospital to drop off Ray, he is actually driving past the Saint Joseph's Medical Center in Yonkers, New York.

Quotes
Connie Nikas: I think something very important is happening and it's deeply connected to my purpose.

Today was a good ...

Day? Was it though? And for whom? One may almost think the title was chosen ironically. Now maybe it was meant for the viewer ... you know having a good time watching it. But that would depend on your defintion of it. You really do have to have a love for low budget movies, otherwise ... maybe stay clear from this.

Robert Pattinson gives a performance that will very likely be far removed from what we see him do in the new Batman movie. And that just goes to show you his range. While a movie he did for Netflix (he was one of many talented actors involved in the project) was ripe for people to make fun of (I actually enjoyed it), because of his accent ("Laz"), here he plays a character who is way over the top crazy.

But he still manages to make him likeable. You kind of root for the guy. Of course that also has to do with the person he is trying to do these things for - he seems like a gullible guy who gets into trouble, because of Pattinsons character ... a weird little gem/nugget of a movie - surely not for everyone to enjoy.
