Review: Once in a while, Hollywood manages to make a movie that doesn't want you to have a shower after it. Too often have I felt like I just got raped by a 300 pound gorilla, and had to pay for it, AND had to smile through out the entire time. Speaking of Star Wars, but I am sure that will be another rant. This movie was a delight to watch, a light hearted story about a child whose mother is a perpetual whore. He ends up on their farm, where they have a large fortune stashed away, which no one is sure how they managed to procure. The adventures the men shared, to only be able to live a small part of what they have. My only issue with this movie is the ending, it was too Americanized. Everything had to be spelled out in the end, the mystery, and one of the main fundamental concepts of the movie, which was reiterated throughout was blatantly ignored in the end. If the movie ended about 3 minutes before the credits rolled, it would have been a much better movie over all. Other than this one little issue with the film, it is a very good on, light hearted, funny at times and an over all good story.
