A complete breath of fresh air

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2007)

A masterpiece, this movie.
In this age of B-rated action flicks and predictable teen-comedies and/or dramas, this is exactly what I needed to see to renew my faith in movies.
Will Farrel is brilliant, in comedy or tragedy, the man knows what he's doing and I adore his work. He played his part well here, both the comic and the tragic parts without a flaw, and I cannot think of anyone more suitable for the role. His average appearance makes him perfect for the hero of the story, and it's absolutely brilliant that we've not yet again been forced to watch two absolutely physically perfect human beings couple, but instead see two average people, far more flawless in spirit than simply and only looks, create a strange, yet very romantic and tragicomic bond.
The movie will make you laugh, it will make you think, and in some extreme cases, it might make you weep. The only "thumbs down" thing in the whole story is the fact that, were the novel mentioned in the story ever published, I am thoroughly convinced it would.. well.. suck. :) As I've said before, this movie is a complete breath of fresh air in the stench that we're being served nowadays, and I strongly encourage everyone to see it. You'll feel happy after you do, I know I did :) Cheers
