If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
