* SleeperHit: It was a spin-off to a film that had come out eight years prior and generally isn't remembered all that fondly or well, released in a fairly competitive month, made for a pretty low budget of fifteen million and it was set in a confined location with three actors, only [[Creator/JohnGoodman one of whom]] is a household name. It ended up doing quite well at the box office and earned rave reviews, being praised by many as one of the best films of the year.
