    The Youtube description says it best:

    This movie about the U.S. having to throw a telethon for itself because we run out of money, features one of the coolest opening credit scenes in movie history (if you love bicycles!)

    You may not want to watch the rest of the movie. Some good reasons why you missed the movie: 3.7/10 rating on IMDb. 0.5 of 4 stars by Roger Ebert. (I had never heard of it until WashCycle posted about it.) Maybe in this case, the YouTube clip is better than looking up the DVD.

    Just watching the opening credits, this movie lends itself for a few good connections for the “6 degrees to Kevin Bacon” game…a veritable who’s who…

    Totally suffers from “Hobo with a shotgun” syndrome.
