Watched this movie expecting a profane, nudie filled movie I could just lay back and not really get into. How wrong I was. Not only was it deep, but I did not miss a second of it. It all forces me to admit that I will include Staney character base in my own novel. The guy really drives the whole movie. You won't be disappointed, no matter who you are. This film can be all a drama for the average chick to watch, a deep movie for the intellectual, and even a comedy for those who just want to have a few laughs. I am actually going to make sure that one of my specific friends watches this movie. I will sit down with her and make her watch it. Because after all the love, the comedy, the drama; there's a beautiful lesson to learn from this brilliant film.

Could've been a cult classic.

Transgressive fiction; though unclear and incomplete. The idea was there, and so were the quotes. Gottfred should have just done the writing for the movie, and left the direction, production, and acting to one more adept. It's a real pity this is not a novel, as I always resort to novels when I'm unfulfilled by the movie (such as Choke). Poor acting and lack of communication with the viewer make the film a six by my standard. I dedicate myself to this type of movies, and the fact that I did not really get some of the things Gottfred intended to do suggests that the average viewer will have a much lesser chance. Yet, at end, I am glad I took the time to see the movie, many can get something out of it.
