I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Spoilers herein.Regular readers of my comments will know how rare it is that care about an actor, but how redheads have been used fascinates me. And Alicia Witt so captured "Dune" and "Leibestraum" that I had to sit up and remark out loud to strangers.So I have been interested in her work. Some of it has been just showing up, some has actually used her as an icon because of Dune.This (and arguably "Mona Lisa") is the only place she has been called upon to act. She shows the degree of commitment and controlled abandon that marks the great ones. I was impressed with what she did here. She must have really given some bad readings to have not gotten parts after this. Or possibly there is another reason.At any rate, this is good. The story is structured in a clever way as well, though not particularly novel. We have a (magazine) documentary embedded in a (film) documentary. The "reality" is in flashback, and the intelligent core of the predecessor play deals with constructed reality. The director is lost. He doesn't quite know how to create and exploit the nesting of stories. And he lets Alicia get away with too much jumping and not enough internal focus. The game-parlor collage is trite.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 4: Has some interesting elements.

This film represents the best of independent film. The director obviously recognized the talents of two rising stars and utilized their abilities in this gritty compelling drama. Why this film did so abysmally and garbage like Dogma gets worlds of acclaim I have no idea.Check it out!

This film was disappointing. I thought some of the acting was very weak (especially anytime Alicia Witt had a "ranting happy" scene). The actors playing the 'adult inquisitors' have no chemistry together, as demonstrated in the horrible "funny" back and forth they give each other.This was based on a play, and I'm sure the play is better. This could be a radio drama, as the advantages of "film" are never really used (only the actual murder scene and a sped-up "hanging out" montage are cinematic at all, the rest was just like a filmed stage performance).Renee Humphrees was fantastic, a surprise after seeing her light and fluffy appearance in 'Mallrats'. The woman playing Mrs. Foster is good, too. But I probably wouldn't recommend it- unless you're an "Old Lady Mutilation" completist.

Fun is part of the Film Festival Rotterdam 1999. It was shown on TV to promote the festival.While zapping I got to see the last 90 minutes, and I found it absolutely gripping. The way Renee Humphrey (Hillary) and Alicia Witt (Bonny) played was refreshingly direct and convincing.The movie makes you think, and after a while the need arises to ask yourself the question, `could this have happened to me?' And I found only one answer: I could have been Hillary.
