A masterpiece. I am so mad at myself for not seeing this in theaters, but the marketing and critics blew it on this one. It is one of the best and funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. It is also the fastest moving 3+ hour movie I've ever seen.
Just a stunning, larger than life piece of art that hooks you in the first minutes and never lets go. To even explain the laugh that got me…
Just as good, maybe better the second time around. I want great things to happen to everyone involved in this movie.

She's almost always great anyways, but this is tailor made for her and she seems to be loving the chance to channel Rosalind Russell. Polaha is having…
