User Reviews

Seriously... A great catch. Seriously

Wow what a great catch! Old friend happened onto to this on you-tube. He was resolute about me watching it, in part because of our history. I said I would and forgot and tonight he sends a link. So I figured I'd glimpse a minute and be done with it, but I was totally sucked in. So I'm writing this review to express that I took his advice and that he (Hank) is correct! It's a kind of gem of a movie. If I had anything to say it would be that I wish it were longer. Those two guys are completely fantastic and I loved the world. Insane. I'm inclined to get out my Charles Bukowski books. The visuals were fabulous and I laughed out loud which is a blue moon thing for me. It was beautifully made and if possible I'd like to see about getting a copy of it on DVD… Great catch. Seriously. Seriously.
