    to a redeeming path
    ...I watched this movie several years ago but yesterday somehow, I stumbled upon again; so I decided to put a few words about here. All are writing about the comedy intention of the Director and how funny (or not) the movie is but that is not the main point of the story. Is about a path to recover the Dignity in an intelligent and silly style. Persistence; Honor; Love; Solidarity; Humility and many more great Humanity values disguised as a light comedy/drama The Zen Buddhism finale worth the watching and put many extra points to the story.
