One Of The Best Films I Have Ever Seen, 17 December 2000
Author: jaws-23 from Belmont, Australia

I Came Across This Movie on night at 2 o'clock in the morning on the local Multicultural chanel and was totally blown away, Vera is the best chariter in the film because you never really know what she's about, and that guy that looks like Buddy Holly is Cool. Also In Australia the film is called 'Life Is A Constrution Site' instead of 'Life Is All You Get'
