88What do you get when you mix a Douglas Sirk melodrama with a Sergio Leone Western? Tears of the Black Tiger, a high-camp Western from, of all places, Thailand.

Nothing is too crazed, corny, or freakishly florid for Tears of the Black Tiger. The debut of writer-director Wisit Sasanatieng is a delightfully unabashed affair, conceived in such good, giddy spirits it might have been called "Blissfully Yours."

50The movie is one big in-joke. It's watchable, but eventually wears you down with its over-the-top cleverness.

25A few more films like Tears of the Black Tiger, and kitsch will be on its way to having a bad name.
