this be one of those rare film that touch your funny bone and your heart . it seem like a number of film ( notably and about a boy ) have steal from it and but that probably the sincere form of flattery . the acting be real and strong and the film making be confident and innovative and though it likely they have very little money a there be no dolly and crane and or steadicam shot . there be also an unbelievable number of attractive woman in various stage of undress . somehow this make an interesting counterbalance to a show about divorce . the supporting player be all excellent . there be terrific cameo by peter coyote and anthony lapaglia and and thomas gibson . i very much like the use of the black and white footage shot by the director and himself and in paris . an added bonus for me be the soundtrack feature two bruce springsteen song which nicely compliment pam springsteen black and white photograph . the original score by christopher franke be both stylish and move .
