And David O. Russell is also responsible for many great black comedies.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-2625085635649276732010-03-07T03:54:44.648-05:002010-03-07T03:54:44.648-05:00this film is superb ,i am a big fan of black comed...this film is superb ,i am a big fan of black comedy genre ,after i saw this film ,i was searching imdb for reiews ,i was surprised to see to not more than 10 reviews and ur reviews was one of them ,gr8 movie ,if pssible pls suggest some more movies from black comedy genrerahul mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08950805987812880334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-62579674928952529152010-02-23T09:39:17.182-05:002010-02-23T09:39:17.182-05:00Thanks, Fabio, I'm glad you loved the film as ...Thanks, Fabio, I'm glad you loved the film as much as I did, and I'm glad I could point you towards it.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296479421292377391.post-18499338779805766732010-02-23T09:30:37.970-05:002010-02-23T09:30:37.970-05:00Well , first of all crongats for your amazing blog...Well , first of all crongats for your amazing blog !

Vincent Gardenia is perfectly cast as her Archie Bunker type father who sees everything through blue-collar eyes. I also love how the son seems to laughs at everything and is first seen reading a book entitled, LESBIANS FROM VENUS.
