I am an admitted cinephile of sorts, and when I first saw this movie recommended to me by netflix, I cringed at the cover and the description. I read Gary Oldman's name and became perplexed...he has very deliberate choices in roles (aka tends not to be in too many bad movies) so I was immediately pawned into watching it, if for nothing else to see what Oldman was doing in this thing. Well, without giving much away - I was blown back. I mean, wow - this movie has some of the wittiest dialogue, most interesting characters, crazy situations, and in-depth philosophy of any movie I have ever seen. It fully deserves the ten/ten stars. It seems kind of cheesy at times, but even the harshest of critics tend to love this movie.
This is one of my go to movies when someone wants me to show them a great movie they have never seen. It will make you truly laugh AND truly think about important questions - an exceedingly rare combo in films these days.
