Well, I definitely liked it. I did see it two or three times back when it came out. Very smart, very innovative script. And it probably could have gutted out a B+ for me if not for that horrible, horrible ending.

yeah I did hate that ending, definatly a B

But you said you loved it. Like a half hour ago?
