53. It's not so much the movie as it is the subject matter.
Because really, it's seriously low budget and doesn't have much in the way of a realistic plot. But people love it because of the characters and how painfully exact the environment is depicted. My boss has a Lumbergh voice, only more nasally if you can hear that . . .
