This funny, quirky movie will keep you entertained throughout the film. It's good. But the crowning glory is the soundtrack by Mark Knopfler. Even if you hate the movie (doubtful, IMHO) the soundtrack is worth it. He is at the peak of his creativity here. Every now and then when I hear "Sultans of Swing" or "Walk of Life" I remember the movie and look for a DVD or better yet, the soundtrack, which I have never seen by itself.
So get a TV with a good sound system or a set of great headphones and enjoy!
