i absolutely adore this movie . i have never hear of it when i saw it at the video store . i saw kathy bates be in it and so i figure it have to have some worth and you know . i watch it the first time just shake my head . . . huh . then it be the last scene and i find myself ache from smile so hard . i click play movie and watch the whole thing again . it be without doubt the quirkiest movie i have ever see . but the more i watch it and the more i love it . it absurd and crazy and sweet and dear . kathy bates be impeccable and but the rest of the cast be fabulous and too . what odd character they all be . the midget be just too funny for word . and julie andrew and barry manilow be hysterical . it just an all around funny and fabulous movie . i get craving to see it again . whoever be watch it for the first time and please stick it out to the end . it well worth it .
