April 3, 2007OMG u all have to go see this movie! its awesome! go to youtube.com and watch the trailer. People give Shane (god i love him) a hard time because they think he wants to replace Darby (i even named my rabbit darby) but thats impossible! GREAT SONGS! be patient when u listen to them, it is hard to understand darby because he would get drunk/stoned and forget the words but they are still GREAT! so just give then a shot, its worth it!!!!! i recomend Not All Right and Sexy Boy!!!
