Not as bad as it seems

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2002)

First of all, the best thing about this movie is Jonathan Richman as the singing narrator. That man is a god. But besides that... This movie is surprisingly interesting for a gross-out comedy. The things that happen do or could happen in real life, we're just not accustomed to seeing
them on screen (but then again they didn't used to show bathrooms or
bedrooms on film, so one day this may seem tame). And the gross and unusual
things serve as a contrast to bring out the heartfelt romance of this movie. It really has good heart to it. And of course the little singalong in the end is quite cute. My mom adored this movie too, and she usually hates gross things. So
there you have it.
