Amateur movie with Big budget

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Blistering performances.

To date, this is Eddie's masterpiece. Any true fan of Hicks, Carlin, & Pryor, that have been yearning such excellence will find it here!'In Ruins' is a one-of-a-kind experience that turns both internal and external criticisms of self and reality to very dark places--the kind of places that accurately reflect humanity, politics, social and cultural realities now. This is exactly the comedy we need at this moment in time; and those that are honest with themselves and their surroundings will find this extremely comforting. Those that are perturbed, well, sleep tight in your illusions! Now, get to it! Eddie Pepitone is hands-down the best Comic alive, and perhaps the best that has ever existed (as far as my knowledge base allows). Simply brilliant.
