A well-deserved cult classic with a stellar cast

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2012)

This is a well-deserved cult classic. I won't call it Chandleresque even if it is based loosely (really loosely, dood) on "The Long Goodbye." It's a stand-alone comedy in its own right, and the characters are totally off the wall and completely credible. It's filled with laugh-out-loud funny scenes (the spreading of the ashes on the ocean is a stand out), John Goodman is huge, and John Turturro is totally over the top.
The movie bears repeated watching over the years, and you'll appreciate the small things more as you stop following the plot and start following the bits that are going on during the scenes.
