This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
