You won't be disappointed!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
