An insane homeless guy turns the world upside down for a blowhard. Tapioca is a funny, raunchy romp, a quirky, comic tale of redemption starring Broadway legend Ben Vereen (Roots), Tim Kazurinsky (Saturday Night Live), Greg Hollimon (Strangers With Candy) and a crazy cast of Second City veterans.

Did you people see the same film I saw?
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I just saw this and have to say that it was great! I wasn't sure what to expect after the first 15 minutes, but it takes you on a neat little ride that is very timely. The movie is about homeless people. A lot of imagination went into this little film. It's nothing like the comedies being made today. It sort of has an old school feel to it and reminds me of comedies like the Blues Bros and early Ivan Reitman films. I think the musical score made me feel that way. I see on here that the film was made for only 100k. That is amazing to me. I does feel low budget, but nowhere near that number. There isn't a whole lot of Chicago landmark stuff to be seen in the film, but it has a certain flavor to it that makes it very unique. If you are from Chicago and you are a fan of sketch comedy buy or rent this movie. You will recognize a lot of Chicago comedians in it. Second City actors and improvisers shine. David Pasquesi has some very funny scenes. Can't wait to see what these guys do next.
