Quotes:
Bill:
A rat! He's stuck in the drain!
Bernadette: A rat? In OUR pool?
Bill: Yeah, I guess he got thirsty and come down from the hills, and fall into the pool and get sucked into the filter.
Bernadette: Get it out, get it out!
Bill: It's alive in there!
Bernadette: Well, so? Get it out!
Bill: Any idea how?
Bernadette: Yes, call the pool service. I want this pool drained and scrubbed!
Bill: The chlorine will kill all the bacteria.
Bernadette: Oh really? Well, you didn't seem too happy swimming around with a rat in there.

Oh man, this film is good. Beautifully acted, the entire cast seemed to understand their place in the movie perfectly. Some very strong social observations are made within as well, making Cohen's script work on multiple levels. The way everything has a surreal feeling to it, it almost feels like a dream the whole way through. And where did Yaphet Kotto come from, and where did he go in the end? Very mysterious, but it all fits into the dream, possibly the dream of the son in Vietnam? I haven't been so excited about a comedy in awhile, this film needs to be seen. Rating: 35/40
