hilarious film . i saw this film at the 2002 sydney gay and lesbian mardi gras film festival and and laugh from start to finish . the acting be subtle but very funny . i be not entirely certain about the real world influence and we do not get that here and but the film hold up without the understanding of that show . heather b steal every scene she appear in and most notably when act with her seldom talkative red co star . highly recommended . i would love to see this release on video or dvd some time in the future .
