John Wood is a down on his luck drug addict. He is still dealing with the death of his father in a plane crash that also took John's leg. As he sinks into despair, he is forced to sell his house and put all of his belongings into storage. That includes his amputated leg, which he embalmed and stored in his smoker grill. Unfortunately, he is unable to make the storage payments and Shannon Whisnant bids on his stoarge unit and ends up with all of John's belongings, including the amputated leg. Shannon has dreams of being a reality TV star and he sees the leg as a step up into being a star. John just wants his leg back. These two men must fight it out over the leg and hope to come out with their dreams intact.

The premise of this movie sounded pretty funny. But, these two guys are both sort of losers. Shannon thinks that he should be famous. And, John has a long way to go to turn his life around. The movie delves into the dysfuntion of both men and John does eventually turn his life around. But, I thought the movie would be a little funnier and lighter. I didn't feel right laughing at these two guys. So, it was an interesting movie but not as good as I had hoped. If you LOVE documentaries, then you might want to check it out. Otherwise, skip it.
