July 14, 2008I damn love this movie. The characters and acting cast are fantastic. It's so random and so fun to watch. Full of individual moments which just make you laugh/smile, shake your head and just keep watching because you just enjoy their pain hahaha. It's a great film. One to deffinately watch when need of a good laugh I'd say :)
