This is tagged as a comedy, but it's fairly depressing and annoying for the most part, particularly any scene Anne Bancroft is a part of. Coming from the same nationality as the main character, I relate to the ridiculous value stuffing your face plays in Italian culture. There is a lot of shouting, and you just see a character struggling with trying to stop eating, surrounded by a surreal fairy-tale-like love at first sight romance.

I'm giving this a decent 3/5, but this movie has some major issues. The first is with Jon Seda's terminally ill character. I get that he may have had a rough upbringing, but Jesus Christ, there is nothing redeeming about the character. He is such an annoying fu** that he has to be one of the most infuriating main characters put on film. As the film progresses, his condition worsens, but one moment he is hemorrhaging and fainting, then a moment later he can climb a cliff, then he can't even move, then moments later he is sprinting again... The other major issue I had with this was that no matter how empathetic someone can be, would you warm to someone as much as Woody Harrelson's character does with someone who has been holding a gun to your penis for three days and who would've killed you if a bullet was in the chamber? But maybe I am too unforgiving... In saying all of that, it does feel like a different kind of film, and not the cookie-cutter material so often fed to us. Although the ending is somewhat weak, the adventure the two go on did maintain my interest for the most part. 3-2.5 / 5

I've checked this out, and I will his follow-up album as well, due to the fantastic recent duet with Chrisette Michele, 'No Greater Love'. This begins quite poorly with an attempt at an upbeat R&B jam that sounds cheaply produced. It's a product of its time, sounding like a non-AAA R&B song from the early '00s. It gets a little better but never reaches anything noteworthy until 'Sweetest Sacrifice' at track 6 that begins an enjoyable run of tracks. 'Love Song' and the title track are songs in the second tier here, but the tracks below are the standouts. 3-2.5 / 5. Best Tracks: Sweetest Sacrifice, Don't Say Goodbye

[SPOILERS] I had never seen or heard of the famous viral video that is the reason why this was made, nor like Winnebago Man (Jack Rebney), do I see fuss with it; nevertheless, he is an interesting character and this is a documentary that's worth watching. Whilst he seemed resistant, and preferred to get on his soap box about politics, I would've liked to know more about Jack's background though. We learn a bit about his career within the media, but it only scratches the surface. The best moment of this is the ending where it's obvious how much joy Jack gets out of the admiration for him, particularly so after he unexpectedly loses his sight half way through the filming of the documentary.

The sound quality on this is fairly poor, and it proves that T-Rock has improved in all areas from lyrical ability, flow and song writing. However, that isn't surprising given Rock would have only been 15-16 years old when these were recorded. He has always had some Pac similarities but on this album, it is perhaps more prominent at times than it is these days also. Worth a listen for big T-Rock fans to see where it began, as this underground album created a buzz and led to him being signed to Three 6 but this is far from his best music.
