PAMELA M.

This was a great movie! It started a little slow in order to establish character, but certainly worth it...hilarious!

I got this movie to see Rhys Ifans as something beside a lovable scuzz ball. He does look better in this film but his character is a unlovable. I stopped watching halfway through because I didn't like the story. It may have a happy ending but it wasn't worth it to me to find out. The dialogue wasn't so much funny as wonky. Liked the characters. Eileen Walsh is a nice find.
