  WHY??
  
  How did Brad Pittt get talked into making this movie? Bland and brain dead is all I can say.

  Not your average film .. great Nick Cave cameo
  
  Fans of quirky, off beat type of films will like this, Nick Cave fans will like this, I liked this - well worth a look, just to say you've seen it.

  One of Brad Pitt's early films and it's just unbelievably weirdly funny, seriously watch it.
