Plot

Ignatius J. Reilly is 30 years old and lives at home with his mother in New Orleans. When he's not working on a writing project, he's complaining about virtually everything and insulting everyone, to the point that he alienates all those around him. Eventually, when left with no other options, he has to find a job. This film adaptation of the John Kennedy Toole novel has been rumored for years, but it now looks to be under way at Miramax. The author never lived to see the book's publication; he committed suicide in 1969. The book went on to win the Pulitzer Prize.
