Unique and strong, 17 August 2003
9/10
Author: kjs-2 from Chicago

Very Strong acting, directing and script makes for one of my favorite films.

An unlikely couple fall in love in this magical, funny, romantic, and sometimes violent film. Its heart is close to "Lola Rennt" or "True Romance" in a slightly funnier wrapping.
