Mattress Men

About This Movie

Mattress Men is a quirky documentary that really captures the absurdity of everyday life. The film follows Paul, an unemployed dad, who breathes life into his mattress showroom by creating this wild persona, Mattress Mick, played by his boss. It's not just about selling mattresses; it’s about the lengths people go to for survival and connection. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that adds to its charm, making you feel like you're right there in the chaos. The use of practical effects, like the monkey puppets, gives it this endearing DIY feel. The performances are raw and genuine, revealing a deeper commentary on ambition and the struggle of middle-class life. It’s distinctive, for sure, with its mix of humor and poignancy.
