The world of 35 year old parking lot cashier Paul Aufiero is limited.   The self professed “world’s Biggest NY Giants fan” played by Patton Oswalt sits in his 4 x 6 ft cashier’s box and listens to sports radio all day long.  Between collecting parking fees and making change, he jots down and rehearses his “impromptu” rant for his regular sports radio call-in contribution after midnight as his alter ego, “Paul from Staten Island.”  He still lives at home with his mom (Marcia Jean Kurtz) in a room decorated in a junior high school motif of sports posters, newspaper clippings and dirty laundry scattered about.  Save his devoted sidekick Sal (Kevin Corrigan) who is seemingly every bit as one dimensional, Paul has no friends.  His family thinks he’s a loser and treats him accordingly.  Writer-Director Robert Siegel (The Wrestler) portrays Aufiero as lovingly pathetic and we find ourselves laughing both with him and at him throughout the course of the movie.
