Bridges is a popular radio shock jock who falls on hard times and finds himself in with eccentric homeless loon Williams, who proceeds to show the formerly shallow, selfish tyrant a world he's never seen.
Even from there it veers in many different directions - many of them unexpected, some of them with a strong touch of whimsy (as in the dragon creature Williams' character lives in mortal fear of), so even though it's not the best movie around and is sort of a mess it's certainly something you've never seen before.
