    To cope or not to cope

    We all have problems, some more, some even more more.

    So, if you like explosions, car chases, people randomly shooting at each other, then you should prolly not watch this ingenious pearl. If you have a functioning brain, and want to be slightly amused and perhaps mildly surprised, then you could give it a try.

    One thing for a fact is sure, you will never look at and into a tin box at the same way ever again. :)

    I like different.

    Different. That's what I should answer when I am asked "what types of movies do I like." Less is more when it comes to film. A movie that keeps me intrigued is my game. No blood, murder, sex scenes, gore are involved. Kind of different.

    No better way to stay cool than with this movie.

    Napoleon Dynamite + Veggie Tales + Sybil = The Planters. Martha Plant and her friends takes you on quite a journey in this amazing indie film. I enjoyed it start to finish. Weird for all the right reasons.

    Very Unique

    I wish i had taken a course in criticism in college so I could be a critic or a reviewer but instead I am just going to go with my gut. I liked this movie for it's stripped down simplicity. And ease of viewing. Such odd characters but yet I knew them so well. When it was over I felt good.... better than before I watched the movie. Why? Hell I don't know.

    This film just turned up in my youtube autofeed and it was SUCH a pleasure! The script was weird yet engaging and the characters were wonderful. It struck me as truthful in the way people think in the desert (Joshua Tree resident) Kike they have had a little too much sun and the isolation to make any odd notion seem plausibe. I can't believe there was no crew! Great job. I will definitely look for more coming from Kotcheff and Leder.
