    I remember a lot of folks in film school saying they hated how "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is written because it's just people yelling over each other. If you agree with that assertion, then you won't like this movie.

    However, if you are comfortable tracking two conversations at once, you'll be rewarded with a heartwarming and tremendously funny movie. My father and I were giggling throughout-- that door had us rolling on the floor.

    Carol Kane and Jason Schwartzman…

    Me, 10 minutes into the movie: Is that Jason Schwartzman?! I love Jason Schwartzman! I can’t wait for Jason Schwartzman to be in this entire movie and not forgotten about 30 minutes into the runtime.

    Me, 30 minutes into the movie: Hey :[

    I don't know what to do.

    I love this movie. I love it so, so much. I want to spend hours and hours and hours gushing about how good it was.

    But I know if I talk about this movie as much as I'd like to, all my friends will refuse to watch it on principle.

    So, I guess what I'm saying here, is that anyone who can build that contraption from A Clockwork Orange should hit me up. I'd like to commission something.
