I caught a commercial for this show & was delighted to see it co-starred Damian Young, aka Bus Driver Stu from "The Adventures of Pete & Pete." After catching a couple episodes, I was even more delighted to find that the people behind Pete & Pete, Will McRobb and Chirs Viscradi, are also running this show. Pete & Pete fans will rejoice in the subtle similarities (both take place in Wellsville; is it only a matter of time before they're wearing Krebstar Nightwalkers and talking to bears at Career Day?), but this show is entertaining on its own as well. Damian Young makes a great supervillain. I just hope this show doesn't meet the same fate as Pete & Pete, with the network watering it down for mass appeal before prematurely axing it. I'm just happy to see people from one of my favorite shows of all time are still at it & still funny as ever.

Just watched this on USA Network in the 2 hours of the weekend when they aren't showing "Overboard." Consistent laughs, likable characters, and an all-around 80's vibe that has Michael J. Fox playing that lovable capitalist once again. Very formulaic, but still entertaining and worth catching on TV or renting. 7/10.

I admit my main reason for seeing this movie is that I have a little crush on Christina Cox (who plays Kim, the love interest) and I wanted to see her in a REAL movie, not just that horrible FX Series. The trailer on the website made it look like a pretty generic lesbian coming-of-age movie, so my hopes weren't too high.

Although it didn't change my life, I was definitely pleasantly surprised. Basically it's a lighthearted romantic comedy that just happens to be about two women. A ton of colorful characters are introduced, and each of them get a few good scenes (pretty much every scene involving Judy the transsexual is priceless), and at the end you get the vague impression that everyone's a little better person.

If the filmmakers were trying to speak volumes about the gay community (there's a little subplot with Canadian customs treating gay literature as "pornographic") I don't think they succeeded. The characters learn a little about themselves and their sexuality, but none of the world's problems are solved. This movie is a sweet, honest love story with a great ensemble cast, and viewed as such it's one of the best of its kind. 8 out of 10.

This movie is completely hilarious. Non-stop absurdity.

If you haven't yet, I recommend watching the John Cusack trilogy of Better Off Dead, Say Anything and Grosse Pointe Blank next time you've got a few hours to kill.

Everything about this film--the setting, the script, the acting--transcends my view of a "movie" and becomes a work of art. The dialogue (at least what isn't lost on my poor VHS copy--I hope someone remasters this film!) is dark and poetic, as are the sets. Anthony Perkins is perfectly cast as the paranoid Joseph K, able to switch the entire mood of a scene at the drop of a hat. Orson Welles is downright frightening as the advocate. I accidentally caught this on TV late at night a while back, and hunted it down for years. Unfortunately, the video I bought is pretty poor quality, but that gives me an excuse to watch it over and over to catch some of the dialogue and scenery that's been obscured by the poor video quality.
