I had both expectations and questions which got in the way of letting the film just take hold. Despite all that I was surprised by how much it grabbed me. The first part is just plain funny, specially if you don't get hung up on playing dectective and trying to notice every last detail of the whoo whoo stuff. The second time I was able to relax and let the movie tell it's own story. I am particularly angry with the critics who clearly did not give this film a chance. They didn't see FWWM, they saw something filtered through their preconceptions. Course they are usually full of it anyway, why should I be surprised? -Rich Haller -Rich Haller
