Re: Movie

[Guest guest]

I couldn't agree with you more. The movie portrayed the darker side in all

of us. Some of us just don't want to admit it ( of course we only wish we

could do those things in real life). Remember, the movie is just that... a

movie. Also, my girlfriend and I were also the only ones laughing through

some scenes. She's an EMT.
