I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire first episode. The meat factory sequence, the kid in the butcher shop, "Where do babies come from?", the Letter N soap opera, the "Mexico" wipe effects... oh man, truly one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV. And I've seen every episode of "South Park." I would go as far as to say this material transcends regular comedic TV and is a work of art. I know a lot of people will disagree, but that was my gut reaction after seeing the first episode.

Please give this show a chance. I hope it gets renewed for several years. I know it's on MTV2, so most of you are thinking it can't be that great, but they somehow managed to hit a home run on this one.

This documentary is very satisfying, heartwarming and educational. It's only 90 minutes, and I wanted this documentary to go on for hours and hours more. I just couldn't get enough of the tuvan music, as well as Paul Pena's story. I don't see how anyone could not like this film, it's just such a great human interest story, too obscure to be fictional. One of the most unusual and original stories ever documented, I highly recommend it.

Though I agree that this film is not in the same league as Solondz's next two films, "Welcome to the Dollhouse" and "Happiness," this film was still a lot of fun to watch. There are some big laughs throughout the film, like the character Junk and the original songs they wrote. I believe it's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek cheesiness, especially when Solondz himself belts through cheesy love songs and has himself looking and acting like Woody Allen.

Solondz is obviously a talented writer, and while probably only hardcore fans of Solondz will check this film out, I think anyone ready for some good cheesy fun will like this film.
