    This movie would probably be less than mediocre if it wasn't for Tim Roth (I know; I'm a bit biased, but he's a great actor!). His characater is quite despicable, but absolutely hilarious. The story is pretty standard, but has a certain charm that keeps you watching. Fans of Roth...( read more) should watch this, but it's probably not for most people.

    A laid back romantic drama with an excellent cast.

    If you were born between 1967 and 1973 and can't relate to and appreciate this movie, then all I can say is that you profoundly and tragically misspent your youth.

    Stumbled upon this movie one Wednesday afternoon while Riley was napping. I was captivated. Very interesting with intriguing characters.

    A decent film, but for me it's mostly worth watching to see the street around my town as they looked 15 years ago. It's better than average

    An unseen and forgotton little gem.

    Almost makes it to a spiritual level but doesn't get over the fence. 2 stars for effort.
