How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Bryan: Released initially to a lot of head scratching and then soon forgotten about. I love this movie! It has an odd comedic/supernatural tone way ahead of its time, courtesy of a brilliant script from future Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. Dennis Quaid is having great fun here. He’s a well respected actor, but I feel he doesn’t get the credit he should for his bigger, crazier performance, like the one he gifts us here. Oh! Did I mention this also stars Jim Varney as a Carny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
