    Although this movie doesn't rank among my all-time favorites, it's one of the better flicks I've seen lately. Seeing Annette Benning sing "High Hopes" was well worth the price of admission. Some very funny lines.

    What a wonderfully enjoyable, overlooked and under rated movie. Filled with an all-star cast, this story by the brilliant Shandling keeps bringing on the laughs and offers a remarkable look at human behavior and relationships between men and women. Highly recommended.

    I thought this movie is full of sci-fi comedy. But in fact, its little-bit comedy, kind of sentimental. But one thing I like in this movie is that, it shows struggle to understand human emotions.

    Yes   |   No
