A definite curiosity piece, 10 November 2002
Author: soranno from Las Vegas, Nevada

This is a lengthy film with multiple short stories and vignettes along with an all star cast. It works surprisingly well. This well done piece of work is certainly a curiosity piece and may someday be destined to become a "new classic."
