    Good movie, interesting plot. Hols one's interest. Nothing special, but you won't push the stop button on the remote either.

    Come on people, lighten up! This is a very pleasant, engaging film. An unusual comedy, it brings together a collection of interesting people in a film that is very well done. With an quirky plot, good casting and direction, we thought it was just great.
