Laughed till I Cried

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2007)

this film has been out so long now, i suspect there are very few people who don't know what happens during its climactic scene.
HOWEVER, if you are one of those who hasn't been told - don't let anyone breath a word. hold your hands over your ears, sing a song, i don't care. just don't let anyone ruin it.
now, perhaps i'm naive (or clueless) but i had absolutely no idea what was going to happen ----- and therefore, was completely and utterly bowled over. the poor people in front of me almost left the theater i was laughing so uncontrollably. my daughter (age 23) had to gag me.
its that funny - and, clearly, is the culmination of a wonderful, wacky, poignant and (yes) incredibly sweet story.
we'll see what happens this coming Sunday, but if it doesn't win best script i'd be stunned. outside shot for picture and more.
