Plotless and hilarious

"Occasional Coarse Language" is the type of film people go to see because the movie they wanted to see wasn't showing or was sold out. With mixed reports from the reviewers, I decided to check it out on a whim. What confronted me was a plotless meandering through the so-called life of Min Rogers and her friends due to the loss of boyfriend, job and flat. It's heavy on the sex and there is the occasional coarse language but its originality will charm and it is absolutely hilarious. Unforgettable scenes, unlikely situations... I won't spoil it.
