This little indie gem had a standout performance by Jack Black. Possibly the role of his lifetime! Excellent supporting performances by Shirley MacLaine (hilarious!!) and Matthew McConaughey (he's on a roll)! A very interesting little story, that's made more amazing that it's based on a true story. Unfortunately, other than the true story angle, there's not much other draw for this show to be a breakout success. All three stars are not really big box office magnets, even McConaughey with his small role. Nonetheless, it was a quirky story that deserved to be told, with Jack Black hitting a career high. True life can be stranger than fiction! Not sure why it did not come to Singapore. Or did it, just briefly, and I missed it?
