Really enjoyed this review guys. Couldn’t agree more with your views (except Matt’s). This is a truly wonderful film which brings more insight the more you view it. And, I just love Bill Murray in this. Also, I’ve heard that the Kelly character was based on Cameron Diaz, don’t know if it’s true though.
I have heard that Kelly was based on Cameron too. This is one of Bill Murray’s best performances.
