Being Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2001)

This is a brilliantly original movie. Virtually hilarious throughout with numerous memorable quotes(see the IMDb listing though they appear to have missed one of my favorite's..."the 'I' comes before 'U' " one).
The writer, film-makers, and actors all deserve top honors for contributing to a masterpiece of black comedy especially in my view the actress playing Maxine,who simply sizzles.
The genius of this film is that the more preposterous the plot the more absorbing it becomes. Many reviewers have in essence interpreted this film as what it is like to have ones' 15 minutes of fame; I view this film as examining with great hum-our the concept of "being"-played for and with maximum laughs.
And in my opinion the strength of the picture lies in its' uncanny ability to examine that concept with an array of compellingly super characters. This is a "feel-good' film. A sure-fire 10 out of 10.
