This one of the best movies ever. I can't explain why. Everything seems to fall into place to create this feeling of comfort. It seemed like everything was perfectly calculated. Max Fischer is a character many people can relate to. The actors did an excellent job, especially Jason Schwartzman. I couldn't see anyone else as Max. The writing was also wonderful. The music fit right into where it needed to go. The soundtrack was superb. This will become a classic movie.
