A Near-Life Experience

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2000)

Brilliant. Just totally, utterly brilliant. When the credits were rolling at the end, I simply sat there stunned.
I thought I was renting a fantasy about men "finding" themselves. I actually got it simply because I hadn't seen it before and figured it might be good for a laugh. I had no idea that it would be so deep, asking so many questions and keeping me both baffled and entranced.
If ever there was an example of "Don't judge a book (or DVD) by its cover", this is surely it. If you think you know what this film is about ... my first rule here is: don't ask any questions. Just see it!
