Trivia:
The director, Richard Schenkman, has always appeared in a cameo in his previous movies. He wanted to appear as a mover but due to the need to choreograph the cast for the moving scene, he reluctantly decided to fore-go his cameo and instead hired another person to be the 2nd mover.
more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): John says that he will give a "new New Testament in 100 words." However his short speech - from "Guy met the Buddha" to "Lot of fairy tales mixed in" - has only 80 words.

...every so often you will see a film or hear a story that will take your breath away and leave you wondering...this is one of those stories.
That said it is probably not for everyone. If you don't want your believes challenged you should probably stay away from this one. The film is all about the characters and their dialog, it is what makes or breaks the film, and I must say they did an excellent job, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, wanting to hear more. All this topped with great acting makes this a film really worth seeing.
It goes to show that you can make great films these days without explosions and killings...so simple yet so effective. Great movie!
