Very funny and intriguing, 14 May 2000
Author: rsf-4 (rsf@ualberta.ca) from Edmonton, Canada

I don't know how this ended up with such a middling rating. It stands out as one of the wittiest, strangest and well-constructed films I've seen in years. Well photographed, with many characters wonderfully and unexpectedly acted. Appropriate for almost any mood, occasion or atmosphere.
