Unique Offbeat Worthwhile Flick


This movie had a lot of very nice touches. Very funny and real. The bedroom scene where Cecil is attempting to hide and Caroline is so upset she can't see her was classic.

Even the end of the credits is worth sticking around for, as Paul Rudd spoofs himself.

I never "got" Michelle Williams until I saw her in this movie.

Well worth seeing.

Agreed. Very charming, refreshing and sweet. Showalter gave it just a *tint* of surreality and off-beat which gave it such a perfect atmosphere. I only saw it this afternoon and I already want to see it again.

I was most surprised by Showalter's direction. Much more mainstream and professional than I was expecting. He needs to direct more stuff.

Take my advice. Watch "Stella". It's hysterical. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443409/
