I watched this on TV because it was a film that showed way back when, not knowing what it was about.
At first, the female lead seemed a little too naive, but when you realise it's meant to be that way it works wonderfully. Like Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. Or Janet in Rocky Horror Picture Show - or rather Brad? Or Miss Kubelik in The Apartment.
You get the drift what this movie plays with, it's fun, funny, I quote lines from it regularly, I just love it.
It's like in Ghostbusters, 'So she's a dog' - funny, American Werewolf in London, Erik the Viking (another underrated gem), Blast from the Past, wonderfully silly but with a real story, good characters, a goof with heart, a horror comedy romance.
Go with it, give it a chance.

Because of Paul Giamatti.
At first I was oh what is this, lame, and he's grumpy, why would I watch this. Even if it is Paul Giamatti the Great.
But I kept watching, and I'm so glad I did.
I went with him on a journey into his memory and remembered reality and the faulty fantasy we often store for different reasons.... and at the end there were tears in my eyes.
Very rewarding watch, of course mainly because of Paul Giamatti, who never disappoints.
That is all that needs to be said from my side, here I am filling in required chatacters. Ladida. Dididadidadida.
No spoilers. Watch it. Paul Giamatti. I like The Illusionist as well. Oh, enough words. Bye then.
