Very funny documentary on the nature of naming people. Do we feel more connected to people who share our name. What are the most popular names. Do we secretly wish we were the only person on earth with our exact name. There are visits to the Jim Smith club and the filmmaker has a dinner party where he invites 12 others with his name.

Retired thief is forced out of retirement by psychotic former associate.

Not quite as good as advertised, but it really is something to see Ben Kingley as such a despicable character.
