As a fat old white guy injineer, it amazed me that this Rube Goldberg contraption worked.

The movie teaches a few lessons:

• God helps them who help themselves
• The Gooferment, any gooferment, is not your friend and ain’t going to help us little guys.  And may even hurt us!
• Humans are amazing animals at finding away out of adversity
• You have to save yourself; there’s no Prince Charming or White Knight coming to your rescue.  All you have are your God-given abilities.
