A Masterpiece!
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
