Rating: - A Nice Pencil Thin
How can you not like a movie with a pencil-thin mustache exchange right before David Anthony Higgins is killed? Not even close to being a 90210 fan, but Priestley totally won me over with his nonchalant callousness. Please, studio exec, read this and put it on dvd.

THIS MOVIE DESERVES TO BE ON DVD! I am waiting for the DVD to buy it.
How could you not love the Dark Humor in this movie that is delivered in an innocent and simple dead pan is brilliant. Jason Priestly wowed me in this role as Cosmo. This was in heavy rotation on cable a few years ago when I saw it the first time. I cannot wait to see it again.
