Best Buy has it so if you are buying Eurotrip I guess you can pick up this movie too. I don't know much about it except that Bruce is Elvis and it looks like he and Ossie Davis (any film with Ossie Davis in it can't be all bad) are in a mental hospital. I remember vaguely that it got pretty good reviews. CherylA ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
