Review

better than i remember it being. it squeezes a lot of juice out of the idea that freedom and equality of representation of ideas are necessary in culture. it’s odd because usually it’s the conservatives who deride the liberals for saying that all forms of sexuality should be accepted, but when it comes to smoking causing deaths the conservatives are much more, well, conservative on the issue. “well…i don’t know the science isn’t real strong on that or global warming or evolution.” at any rate, it’s a funny film that’s well written and acted.
