is terrific. Lee's sense of humor, plus the chaos that is exhibited during the new year's eve weekend makes it an awesome film. I related to this movie because to me, I view it as a memory, or a crazy story that you'd hear from someone. I can just picture a close friend saying "...and then, her SISTER made a move on me!" or something like that in a story. I like how it's 11 years old too; it brings me back. I also pick up on how close this was to Christopher Scott Cherot's heart. That's apparent throughout the film. Futhermore, I like the tiny sense of obscurity to the film. CSC never really made it to superstardom, this movie is just a cult classic that not many know exists or many know ABOUT. All we can do is speculate. It feels more real that way.

I fully agree with what you're saying. When I was younger I didn't have much interest in this film. But now that I am closer to the age of the characters I can really connect to the film. I guess it helps now that Lee reminds me of someone I used to know, in little ways. The Lee character gives me more tolerance and understanding (though I haven't seen him in years) for this type of personality, or maybe it's the other way around. Anyway, I've just seen it all the way through recently and I really enjoyed most of it. I finally "got it!"

There is no "i" in tiem...oh wait.
