hilariously brilliant.or brilliantly hilarious . or something like that.

haven't laughed so good since "Shoot'em Up" ...

it's been fun to try guessing all the references. it's been a joy to see the oh-so-classical-cliché's put to good use.

and what can beat the "I'm your father " line ? nothing, I guess...

and yet...it's not just silly fun. on the contrary.

and to think the humor was lost on some posters / reviewers... guess post-modernist sarcasm isn't everyone's bowl of soup ...

( unfortunately I have to type a few more lines in order to get the comment approved, as IMDb considers that a certain text length is an a priori condition for coherence... although everyday life and posted comments prove the opposite... and most of the times less is actually more... )

but, long story short .... thank you, John.
