Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Better on DVD: A lot of the jokes are even funnier on the second or third reading.
  • Non Sequitur Scene: Near the end, Fat Charlie meets Dragon, who informs Fat Charlie that he's going to eat him. Fat Charlie tries to tell him he's afraid with his newfound god powers, but it doesn't work so Fat Charlie has to deceive him.

Dragon: "I am frightened of nothing.
Fat Charlie: "Nothing?"
Dragon: "Nothing."
Fat Charlie: "Are you extremely frightened of nothing?"
Dragon: "Absolutely terrified of it."
Fat Charlie:"I have nothing in my pockets. Would you like to see it?"
Dragon, uncomfortably: "No. No, I most definitely would not."
