This was the second time I saw this movie (I already had seen it in the theatres) and I enjoyed it just as much this time around. Great cast, quirky characters and funny story.

While a bit longer then I am used to... I found this to be a good story. It was able to keep my interest easily. I was never much of a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio... but I found him to be good in this one. Worth while if you ever feel up to a longer film.
