I like Aubrey Plaza, so I'd watch it for her alone. I wasn't sure if my husband would like it, but we both did. Loved the ending!

I immediately sought as many of them as I could. This so far is the only one I thoroughly enjoyed. Quirky and witty and surprisingly moving.<br /><br />That it was based on a real advertisement is even more bizarre. I rented a DVD version that included a special mini feature about how the film came about, where the ad originally appeared, and the responses that came in over the years.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-86838009196652507432013-04-17T09:39:13.282-04:002013-04-17T09:39:13.282-04:00Sergio don't miss it!
