I love this movie. It's great. It's definitely in my list of the top 5 funniest movies of all time. I was surprised to see that Entertainment Weekly and Roger Ebert both gave it bad reviews (well, actually, not bad reviews, just not reviews that could be interpreted as good.) I guess it's an acquired sense of humor, and the plot leaves some to be desired. There isn't really much plot, and the movie is pretty slow paced (it's obvious that this was once a play), so if you don't like dark humor, don't rent this. It's basically filled with lots of one-liners and such, most delivered by Parker Posey, in what is probably her greatest performance to date. While Parker usually plays the same character you love to hate (or just plain hate), she always plays it well. Has she ever played a good-natured character? Anyway, if you like dark comedy, and you can enjoy a movie no matter how sick the plot is, I would think that you would love this. It's up there with Pulp Fiction on my favorites list. 10/10
