Very good, but I'd never want to see it again!

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2000)

Yes, this is a very good film. It's very funny in places, intelligent, and brilliantly written. However, despite being a "good" film (in the quality and skill of film making sense), I don't think I'd ever see it again. I can certainly understand people liking this film, but (in my opinion, of course) *NO WAY* is it a better film than things like Schindler's List and The Shawshank Redemption - I doubt whether this would even make it into my own top 100! So my vote: as a piece of film making, probably 9 out of 10, but overall a 7 I think. See it, but don't expect the best film ever!
