I thought it was pretty poor. Throw in a dwarf to show how crazy the night has become. It must be crazy if there's a dwarf! No way do they do normal things like the rest of us... oh wait... actually...

But the fact that Jimmy's shown to be a normal dude with some off-color opinions like everyone else shows that it's not a crazy thing. And the sequence Jimmy's filming at the end ("the psychotic dwarf turns out to have been some schoolboy dream") is kind of a commentary on that surreal dwarf media depiction.

It could have been worse, yes. They did attempt to subvert the trope.

I'm a little coloured by the fact I swayed greatly between enjoying the film and finding it terribly schlocky all the way through.

Edit: I forgot to say, they did that 'commentary on surreal dwarf depiction' thing in Trees Lounge over a decade before. It was funny and clever then. When the idea feels like it's stolen it's not so impressive.

I think it was not Trees Lounge, I think it was Living In Oblivion.

You are 100% right. I think I watched them one after another so I got mixed up.

Wow, Peter Dinklage was in that movie as well. He gets all the parts. That must have been the first thing I saw him in, although I didn't know who he was then.

I just saw him in an old episode of 30 Rock and then an ad for the new X-Men film. He's getting around.
