Tropical Jazz Animals, 5 December 2003

If you are trying to reduce your intake of nicotine, nostalgia and alcohol, avoid this movie. This one is mainly for the Piano and Whisky crowd. Our hero is a womanizer tripping on cigarettes, whisky and music. Bossa Nova, particularly. Not quite politically correct, the guy, but his intentions are good, you can't help but like his madness.
