A classic. Amazing. Inspiring. Heartwarming. Funny as Sh*t!. Anyone seen it?

I saw it about 2 months before it was released & had absolutely no idea what to expect. At least half the screening room left after the first half hour, but I was laughing my ass off the whole way. Everybody knows a guy like Mark (and Mike), and I thought the film was brilliant. Go Coven!

Boring, lame, pathetic, and totally unfunny. Why do people waste film on uninspired subjects? Enduring this film was like attempting to read Jane Eyre in high school, unbearable. Thankfully, I don't know any losers like these guys and I didn't gain any insight watching the film. Probably the worst movie I watched that year.

I guess, like RayRay said it's not for everyone. why do people waste millions of dollars to pay Tom Hanks for Terminal? go figure.

I loved this film ... but then again, I also love Jane Eyre.

But for me it probably worked because there was a point in the film where I stopped thinking of the people portrayed as losers. This guy was incredibly hard working and dedicated to making a film. The only difference between him and some highly paid directors is that he is about as far from Hollywood as you can get, has little money and no wealthy parents or friends or other connections to help him out.

This is not me saying he's an amazing director, just that he has an amazing work ethic and unshakeable pursuit of his dreams. I admire that rather than look down on it.

I saw him as sort of a Don Quixote figure, or perhaps it was just a portrait of a person who I will never meet. I'm easy to please, I really like taking a look into other people's lives and learning their stories.

KT,

Have you seen Wide Sargasso Sea? Based on the novel by Jean Rhys, the conceit being the back-story before the events in Jane Eyre.

A treat, by director who also did Sirens.

Available from netflix, if not your local video outlet.

Yes, I have ... see private message so as not to wander too far off topic here.

Yeah, I really want to see this one! The guy who made this also made "Home Movie" which is short (like 70 minutes) but overall fascinating.

I thought it was great. So funny. The whole mispronouncing "coven" thing was fantastic...
