Summary: Great DVD Commentary
Review: The commentary portion is a movie by itself. It was refreshing to watch Jeff Dunham and his sidekicks review the movie. I've seen his show in Las Vegas and he is a first class performer.

Summary: really funny
Review: The interactions between the characters in this film are what make it so great. I especially loved Milla's character, a punk-rock chick who convinces Adrian's character to do many crazy things. Also, Milla's character sings towards the end of the movie and she does a rockin job at that.Overall, the plot was nothing special, but the weird cast of characters made it more interesting then it would have been otherwise. In this sense, you can watch this movie over a couple of times since its not really about what happens but how it happens and how oddly the people act. All of the actors did a terrific job, but most of all Adrian and Milla were excellent. I doubt you'll be seeing this dvd in the video store, and unless you were one of the few people who saw this film during its limited release, I suggest you pick up a copy.

Summary: Amazing
Review: The only thing to say is that this movie will engross you. I found myself completely involved in the movie, unable to pay attention to anything else, simply because i was so interested in what was going to happen. Don't listen to that idiot a few spaces below... the reason this movie is so good is because things happen that AREN'T typical. I think that fool has watched too many hugh grant movies. Come on. All people really want to see in a movie is something new, and this movie delivers. Without a doubt, this is one of the five best films i have ever seen. Watch it. There's no excuse not to.

Summary: What went wrong?
Review: This film flopped, and given the great actors it is interesting to try to figure out what went wrong. Adrien Brody and Milla Jovovich have considerable talents. Greg Pritikin, the director/screenwriter has since blamed a change of ownership in the distribution channels for its commercial demise. I found it very grating in the first thirty minutes, then it grew on me briefly before descending into normal movie fantasyland. What was so grating? I think the director did not decide what he was doing, farce or lonely hearts finding each other or social satire, or the cliche version of standing up for oneself and then everything coming up roses. Milla is very good as the highly emotional extrovert social misfit and she is mirrored by an exact opposite of a totally clamped down emotional-less Adrien Brody as a introverted social misfit. However, both actors were pushed to extremes by the director, so the opening third seems unreal, and whatever affection you develop for the characters is balanced by a feeling of annoyance. Likewise you are given an insight into the family background of both characters as motivation for their inability to function well...but it is so extreme, and cartoon-like it would be better as farce, except it is definitely not all that funny. I think that is the main problem, pushing things in the direction of farce, and not making it all the way to funny, instead settling in a bog of sentimentality. Milla Jovovich (once she is freed from the demands to over-act) steals the movie, adjusting to the world, solving problems and finding her way to contribute.
