See

You have to see this film to believe it. For corroboration of what I've written here, look at the "Users' Comments" section at the Internet Movie Database entry. It's the only film I can recall watching almost in its entirety with my mouth agape. Storyliner (talk) 19:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Or you could just follow the Google Video link and see for yourself. Wastetimer (talk) 00:46, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
