Yikes! What a review!


Is it really only me that really enjoyed this?

I haven't seen it in ages but I found it relaxed, funny and pleasently un-genred... it felt like it wasn't trying to be anything.

The review on the main page is really cutting...

Maybe I'd watch it now - a few years on - with a more critical eye but I remember it as a fun film that I wanted to see again...

I loved it and I tell everyone I know about it. I recently watched the trailer on Smila's Sense of Snow ans was psyched and wanted to get it. And it's not available. Curses.

I love the scene where Mia's trying to change the major and she keeps walking back and forth on the same strip of pavement and I tell people that that's what grad. school is like.

I also like the parodies of Spike Lee and Allen. But, I don't remember _any_ of them being gay. Maybe it's been awhile and I forgot about it. I hate Radha Mitchell though, as I hated High Art. Maybe that's just me.

I quite like this movie, but I sadly lost my copy of it.

I saw it 5 times in one week at the cinema when it was first released. As a gay Aussie film student, it really spoke to me. And then I watched the director's commentary where they pretty much admitted they had no idea what they were doing. I watch it now thinking back to my original reaction to it - still love it.

Well, if they didn't know what they were doing they made a beautiful mess. It is better than a lot of movies that are planned within a inch of their lives.

I'd die for you. I love you. I love you so much it's killing me.
