"With his mother (Anjelica Huston) suffering from Alzheimer's, medical school dropout Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell) devises a plan to pay her hospital bills. At high-class restaurants, he pretends to choke, waits to be rescued and then later asks his saviors for money. In addition to being a con man, Victor is a sex addict who works at a colonial theme park. This film is based on the novel by cult literary phenom Chuck Palahniuk ( Fight Club)."

There is a lot of blatant naked sex in this movie because of the sex addiction part, and it almost takes away from the story, which is about a boy who was raised by a con artist mother who is now senile so doesn't recognize him a lot of the time. For a while she has him convinced that he is descended from Jesus Christ as a result of DNA rescued from an ancient preserved foreskin. As the story unwinds we find out that he was mostly raised in foster homes in between times that she kidnapped him. Of course, he's easily convinced, being a con artist himself. Eventually, in a lucid moment his mother admits that she stole him out of a baby carriage in Des Moines, Iowa when he was an infant.

This was a mediocre movie. Although I don't remember this particular combination in movies I've seen before - the graphic depiction of sex addiction (I know, it rhymes) and the colonial theme park - but I got the feeling the people who made the movie were thinking parts of it were hilariously funny, and I don't agree. It was so-so.
