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.

Had potential....but the filmakers seemed very confused as how to balance true emotion w/satire...damn.

For the life of me I can't place my finger on why this movie was so damn funny. It seemed to have such serious themes but played it out in such a masterful way as to make you laugh and think at the same time. This is one of the movie greats. I'm surprised more "Professional" critics didn't give it higher ratings. They have been disappointing of late to say the least. Just look at the critic scores verses the viewers. They are out of touch to put it politely. I give this movie a ten because honestly I couldn't find a flaw in the movie. And on top of it all it had a style the was totally original, and that's hard to do these days living in a nothing new under the sun society. Kudos for all Invovled in this movie. I highly recommend it to anyone with more than a few brain cells rattling up there in the old noggin.

Domicron gave it a 7:
One of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Well written, nicely executed, and commendable acting made this a very touching story. I gave it a 7 simply because though it was labeled a comedy, I really thought this was more of a satirical drama. Still though, a very deep movie that works on many levels. Nice to see a movie with this kind of depth in a world of superficial "cradle 2 the grave" crap.

This movie rocked. I loved that there was a great message wrapped up in an incredibly funny package.
