Viewing Notes

Haven’t seen this movie in its entirety since I saw it theatrically. Been wanting to view it again so I was very happy to stumble on it via IFC HD. And it’s not nearly as bad as I remembered (actually I kinda hated it on my first viewing). It’s almost a note for note replay of EFNY but I love watching Russell in this role.
