Simon Grim, a nerdy young sanitation worker who lives in Queens with his depressed mother and promiscuous sister, turns out to be a brilliant poet and an overnight literary sensation, after being encouraged to write down his ideas by Henry Fool, a boozy pseudo-intellectual who rents the Grim family basement.
""Socially inept garbage man Simon is befriended by Henry Fool, a witty, roguish, but talentless novelist. Henry opens a magical world of literature to Simon, who turns his hand to writing the 'great American poem.' As Simon begins his controversal ascent to the dizying heights of Nobel Prize winning poet, Henry sinks to a life of drinking in low-life bars. The two friends fall out and lose touch until Henry's criminal past catches up with him, and he needs Simon's help to flee the country"--Internet movie database summary by Josh Mueller, December 2, 2002."

"De eenzame vuilnisman Simon raakt bevriend met de schrijver Henry Fool die hem stimuleert om ook te gaan schrijven. Als Simons gedichten succesvoller zijn dan de memoires van Henry, komt hun vriendschap in gevaar."
