The miserable Todd Solondz is back and he brought his cavalcade of mishigoss with him.  This time the action takes place among the strip malls, golf courses and phoy haciendas of suburbanized southern Florida.  The cast is incredible and, if one wanted to do so, could be listed as Omar, Pee-wee, Julius Caesar, C.J. Cregg, the Studio Chief from Barton Fink and Ally Sheedy.  But who would describe this awesome cast this way? 

In the video above, you can check out my reaction, shot moments after the first press screening at this year's New York Film Festival.
