Synopsis

When Dory loses his job at a data-management company and can only find work as a janitor, it looks like his life is going down the drain. To make matters worse, he and his toilet-cleaning colleagues become unwitting guinea pigs in a misguided corporate experiment. But as a strange new life takes shape inside him, Dory learns that sometimes you don’t find meaning, meaning finds you. –Visit Films

It really is 'Clerks' meets 'William S. Burroughs' just like the review. Very cool visual effects and hallucinations. Plus I did laugh a lot.

I suppose you need to be totally high to fully appreciate this movie. No really. Some scenes make 3D look flat. The shower sequence is practically video art. The toilet artist predates Mr. Brainwash from "Exit Through The Gift Shop". "TICOLD" evokes Chuck Palahniuk ("Choke", not "Fight Club"). It's a mess of a movie, but it's a titillating mess.
