    Post modern disgust at its finest and most endearing. Hal Hartley at his best. Nobody acts in this film, they just deliver lines. Lead character carries around a hand grenade at all times ... "just in case."

    I saw this movie a while back on IFC and I really liked it. This movie is quirky and the dialogue is great.

    Very strange. A whole new type of directing and film making. Hal Hartley is the man, and so is Martin Donovan. Adrienne Shelley is also the fire.

    This is my all time favorite movie. This movie inspires me to continue seeking new films.

    It can be hard to find this movie at your local videostore. You can catch it on the IFC channel or you could just go to Youtube. Here's a link to part one of the movie. The rest is there, floating around to watch. Enjoy!
