      [discussing Robert's preference in Christmas ornaments]

      Deandra Lerner: Honestly, Robert, this is so...

      Robert Lerner: Meterosexual?

      Deandra Lerner: There's no such word. It's metro - metrosexual.

    Expected the worst
    Unexpectedly for me, the film turned out great, with unpredictable twists, I expected something more banal. The main character played well, the film recalled its crazy atmosphere - the house that Jack built. A little disappointed with the ending.
