OK,

-So there is this new movie coming out Where Mel Gibson plays a man who is clinically depressed and starts communicating with the World entirely through a beaver hand-puppet.

No!...I'm Serious!!!

I'll give them a lot of credit. In a time of one movie being pretty much a rip-off of many others (which were also rip-offs), it is at the very least original.

More credit to them if they make something out of an idea that has a lot of potential in terms of being either annoying, silly or just plain weird.

Jim Carrey was originally asked to play the lead, and declined. Because they went with Mel Gibson they had to shelve the movie for a few months after one of his...outbursts brought on some adverse publicity.

I think they should have gone with Kermit the Frog too!
