THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE!!!

Warning: Spoilers
Don't be fooled by the negative opinions about this movie!

*** Warning, the following may contain slight spoilers *** Following this band of ironically (in?)compatible group of friends as they confront each other to the point where they question if their friendships are really worth the effort! And if so, is it based on anything that ISN'T self serving? And could it possibly be out of kinship and love?

I think this movie questions the value of friendships, and creates a subtle mirror for us to evaluate our own friendships.

I felt pity for all the characters in their bid to find love through means of friends, drugs, sex, hookers and girlfriends. Somehow they seemed hopelessly stuck in their emptiness.

A brilliantly acted film... i'm sure the actors were delighted to able to cut their teeth on something involving long dialogs and stage-like drama.

Don't miss it! 8/10
