Enjoyable ride

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 1999)

I don't think this is the greatest movie ever made, but I did enjoy it. It doesn't really go anywhere, and the scenes involving what happens to the baby are a little slow, since the filmmakers seem uncomfortable that they're dealing with a subject they can't have fun with, so they don't quite know what to do. Still, this is consistently surprising, offbeat, and yes, funny except for the baby parts, and they make the most with the low budget they have. And this is very definitely not a "pro-drug" movie; it just lets the viewer come to their own conclusions, rather than give you a "Just Say No" message movie. The actors are all good as well; I especially hope Kelly McDonald is able to move on to bigger things.
