Quotes:

A.K.: When I die, I'm going to go straight to Heaven. And you are going to ask me why. Did I pray enough, no. did I share enough? Not really. Was I humble enough, definantly not. So what makes you so sure you're going straight to Heaven you ask. And I will tell you, because, I told the truth.

Movie Connections:

Spoofs The Graduate (1967)

Well, to be realistic...

You can actually get pretty good insight by looking at an unwashed pair of underpants. You can tell a lot about a person by studying their hygiene habits. Also by noticing either an abundance or lack of stains, faults, holes, tears, overall condition, even what kind of underpants they are. So this tells me you don't know much about gaining insight from anything unless it's put in very literal terms for your struggling mind to understand. Anyone can sound like an expert on the internet, but I can tell by your forced attempts of using advanced vocabulary that you're not at all what you attempt to be. So don't waste peoples' time by trying to help them with deceiving remarks hiding your misunderstanding. Perhaps I am biased because I am a fan of Eugene Hutz, but I find it hard to believe anyone could get nothing out of this film. Sure anyone who dislikes Madonna will disregard it simply because of a childish hatred, but I do not care for her myself, and I still thoroughly enjoyed this film. Rarely do I comment films based on my opinion, and even more rarely do I rate one 10 out of 10 stars. I do this because I feel this film has been very misunderstood and unappreciated, as do I feel that the extremely biased general media has given it a bad hype it does not deserve. So I hope others may watch it with an open mind, and disregard your personal opinions of the crew and cast, and watch it as a film, and nothing more. If you do that there is really something to be appreciated here.
