Funny About Love
Let me begin by saying that I read the review about this movie by "petershelley". WHOA! How could anyone be so opposite of everything this movie was about!! He does not have a clue and I mean not one about life, people, love, emotion, vulnerability and what it is really all about. This guy is so off base I actually pity what a superficial life he must live. He needs to get off his pedestal and get down here where the real people live.

-Funny Mr. Wilder-
I had never seen this one and picked it up here for $1.97 including shipping. I'm glad I did as it is a rather decent film. It's laid back and the laughs just kind of come and go at a more relaxed pace. The picture and sound quality are good, and I'm glad I bought it.
