one of the best made for TV films I've seen

Okay...I know it shouldn't make a difference (made for TV or made for big scren)..but as they go...this was a great MFTV film in my opinion.

Why do we expect less from MFTV? Or is it just me?

I dunno, but I had more than a few laugh out loud moments watching it. Just saw it on TV3(Irish tv channel Oct 7th 2005).

I'm not sure I'd rush out and get it on DVD...although I think I might chase down the 1938 film of the same name. It's a quirky, fairly predictable film with some nice touches. The lead guy carries it very well and wasn't a million miles away from the Fargo character he performed so well.

i too found it way better than i expected. it was firing on all cylinders, and well written and clever to boot.

i was quite surprised. i'd recommend this one to anyone
