Featured review
----no one else does--- one of my favorite things to tell the haters.
Trying not to give away any spoilers -- you have to watch this with an open mind looking to be entertained and not educated. Huge cast all the way to Tom Waites (who by the way, can do no wrong). The characters fit together and interact well. Although it's not the script of the decade, it is "playful". If I get into the characters and their roles I'll spill the beans. But I have to comment about Tom Waites (did I mention he can do no wrong?). He had an integral role in this film which I doubt many viewers really recognized and was flawlessly executed with the rhythm of an accomplished musician.
So take these two things from my review and relate them not just to this film but film in general - and even life; Don't take yourself so seriously - trust me, no one else does! Have no expectation of a film other than to be entertained (unless the film is a doc. of course).
