Funky Bunch:My penis is too poor for you?

Fantastic dracumentary that's not afraid to take a breather from the serious bits and have some fun.

To be frank, I had never heard of UCB. After watching this film, I can honestly recommend UCB as one of the better modern dance troupes. I enjoy everything from Jabbawockeez to Fanny Pak, but my true passion is for QUALITY dance of ANY style. Ned and Mindy Grenlovitz slow dance the hell out of the floor of Paddy's Drinky Hole every Sunday at 10 pm. Though they probably have no idea who I am, I just want them to know I know who they are. And that I'm always watching them -- just like you should always be watching this movie!

LOL, I just realized how WEIRD that sounded! I didn't mean Fanny Pak, I meant Super Cr3w.
