my partner and i have never hear of this movie and decide to give it a shot pick the title from a list of movie on cable without know a single thing about it . a it open and reveal the cast and we think and well how bad can it be . kathy bates and jonathan pryce and rupert everett and lynn redgrave and dan akroyd and more . a the story unfold we become more and more tickled with our selection and and the film soon have u laugh out loud throughout . this be not a great film and but it be one of those rare film that have such a great combination of memorable character take through truth be strange than fiction type surreal event that i couldn not help but love it . i have no problem suspend my disbelief at some of the wacky story element because the intention of the filmmaker be so warm hearted while they still manage to poke fun at everyone involve . a others on imdb say and this be a comfort movie and i too wouldn not be surprise if it become a cult classic .
