Review

Plato had it wrong: Some lives should be unexamined. Case in point: one Timothy "Speed" Levitch, a tour bus guide with a penchant for free-associating like a mental patient. Now share the insanity with family and friends with this engaging documentary. Enjoy the musings of a typical "colorful character" as he waylays the unsuspecting onto a double-deck bus for a ride 'round the nine circles of Hell -- with his own ego at the center. Be amazed as this autodidact (who must have been his own worst student) preens and poses, whines and rails, offering insights of the myopic. Few street philosophers have ever been more pedestrian -- or in his own odd way, entertaining. In an unsurprising twist, the tour bus company, after viewing this documentary, fired Levitch.
