man and i have my doubt . i love kathy bates and but i thought and how good can this be and i have never even heard of this thing . you know and it be one of those thing and we give it 20 minute and we will turn it off if it suck and we be lock in from the get go . this be a very winsome and fun movie . it quirky and you know . i mean and you have get a lounge singer and a murderer ( and a believable one ) and you have farce and then kathy bates in all her acting splendor and rupert everett finally act to his real potential and dan ackroyd and and a dwarf that will make you laugh out loud . i tell ya and you will laugh or you will cry . maybe i have a weird week and but i think this film be on the level of fried green tomato . if you do not like that movie and maybe you would not like this and but i think it be a great movie . i go out and buy the dvd .
