Line 9:
Meanwhile, Joel keeps thinking about how Cindy was flirting with him. He discusses this with his old friend Dean, a perpetually drugged-out bartender played by [[Ben Affleck]]. Dean encourages him to initiate an affair with Cindy, but Joel is certain he'll feel guilty if he does. After giving Joel a mystery pill, Dean comes up with the [[Zany Scheme|crazy idea]] for Joel to hire a gigolo to have sex with his wife, so he won't feel guilty about having sex with Cindy. Joel, heavily intoxicated, plays along. As expected, the plan does not take place quite as expected.
 
The movie seems to have met with [[So Okay ItsIt's Average|lukewarm reception]], although it does have a fan base. It did at least break even between the box office and DVD sales. Only time will tell if it eventually reaches [[Cult Classic]] status, as seems to be the pattern with Mike Judge's movies.

=== This film provides examples of: ===
* [[Ambulance Chaser]]: Joe Adler, played [[Gene Simmons Family Jewels|appropriately]] by [[Kiss|rock frontman]] Gene Simmons. He knows why a man with one testicle is the perfect client.
* [[Brainless Beauty]]: Brad. The guy's level of stupidity is astonishing, but he is good looking, well-built, and above all, an amazing pool cleaner.
