Hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time, like real upstate New York. Seldom have I experienced better acting performances in a sincere and obvious comedy. Outstanding soundtrack, excellent writing. So many low key jokes if you're familiar with the area. Wide right. Goddamit. 'Nuf said. Can you imagine if Scott Norwood opened up a strip club in Buffalo in 1998? Maybe this happened and I missed it, I haven't lived in Buf for a long time. Vincient Gallo kind of sucks and this movie oozes VG but somehow it all works. This will be considered Mr. Gallo's peak as an entertainment personality (or artist or whatever) I believe (and also Ms. Ricci, and maybe Rosanna Arquette too). I mean that in a good way though, this is a very good movie. Even though Gallo's Billy personality dominates the story, all of the characters are given the opportunity to shine- no matter how minor. Ultimately very uplifting, maybe a realistic love story in alot of ways. Maybe my favorite last 15 minutes in cinema history, but that's just me. Highest recommendations. Worth noting perhaps that Norwood was a very good kicker that year except for that one FG attempt.
