    Is alive, and takes chances, and uses the wicked blade of satire in order to show up the complacent political correctness of other movies in its campus genre.

    It rebounds in the last moments and I thought successfully blended satire, high camp and yet another sexual taboo into a really funny movie.

    In its own dimly reckless way, the film is riveting -- not unlike watching a tightrope walker with a bad case of vertigo.

    Maybe this is my new favorite movie. Only time will tell. I haven't seen a movie this compassionate, fascinating, and so emotionally powerful in a long time, though. In watching it, I was reminded of a quote by Pauline Kael, who said she could tell immediately whether she and someone could potentially be friends based on the movies the person liked. If you don't like this movie, it doesn't mean something's wrong with you. It just means you and I could never be friends, because this movie was a piece of work, borne straight out of the heart, and most likely if you don't like it, it's because you can't personally identify with the events described. It's the most hopeful movie I've seen in years.… Expand
