Unexpectedly Great: Dark and Bright Both
I happened to see this movie in New York last year. It was a smaller movie, and I didn't know quite what to expect. I'm glad I saw it, because it was one of the most original fllms I saw all year. The director has a sense of black comedy that you don't really see too much of anymore -- it wasn't obvious or thickheaded -- and the actors, while not recognizeable figures from tv or other movies, did a great job with the material.

If this sounds like you, someone you know, or someone you used to be, then you'll enjoy this movie. If you can relax, have no expectations, and just let it flow I garentee you'll spend the film doubled over. It features over the top geeks like a midget tuba player, a couple ugly-pretty girls, a fat...
