Admirable film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Being a lesbian for 30 years, I found this movie refreshingly funny and full of great stereotypes that aim to make you laugh instead of getting you all worked up. I found myself nodding too as I could put myself in a few of the situation.The acting is very well done as is the writing. I would have given it a 10 but the plot didn't move along very quickly and when I really thought it was going somewhere the movie was over. Would make a great Showtime or HBO series actually!! I could see myself tuning in to these characters each week and there are enough supporting cast to make it worth a writers time.:)
