"yeah, just 2 blocks ahead and make a left." "a left?" "yeah, right." "a right?" sorry...i just had to quote that. sweethearts. this is a janeane garafalo movie (woo-hoo!!!)...and it has margaret cho in it too (ding-ding-ding-ding...double points). this is janeane at her self-loathing best. it looks like a comedy from the outside...it's sweet...but in the end it's depressing. but i think it made its points, and it was good entertainment...so positive remarks really. oh yeah, bobcat is here also. so, here's a really brief synopsis: guy answers janeane's personal ad, decide to meet at a cafe. janeane's character told him false info about her physical features...in the cafe she talks to him as a stranger...and then reveals that she is the one in the personal ad, he threatens to leave...she shoves a gun to his side and makes him stay in the cafe...yada-yada-yada...i would give away the whole story if i said anything else...and wa-lah....you have sweethearts...a sweet, yet, heart-wrenching comedy-drama... << b a c k t o m e d i a << b a c k h o m e art. cds. movies. poems. books. links. comments, hate mail, criticisms, and love letters should be directed to sue
