Highly underrated, outrageous film that's truely overlooked, 2 September 2001
Author: David (Linzack@aol.com) from Los Angeles

What a breath of fresh air this movie is. It has the wit of Frasier, the physical antics of a Jim Carey picture and the insight into characters that has a real bent outlook on life. It's dark, funny and full of life. It certainly should be on anyone's overlooked list.
