Movie Review

YES WOW, by Jennifer

April 27, 2004

I would have to say that this film deserves a lot of credit. I found the film to be very humerous yet serious at some points. I understand how some could say that the film takes your mind into different places, but isnt that what makes us more interested in a film? Isn't it about trying to figure out what the true meaning is behind all of the "nonsense?"
