A group of upper class liberal college students decide to kill people who disagree with their political beliefs via arsenic laced wine at their weekly Sunday dinners. Power drunkenness and guilty consciences rifle through the group and come to a head when they get their political "would-be-Hitler" seated at their table. This is an intelligent black comedy with a unique style, exceptionally well written dialogue, strong performances and very eclectic music choices. A gem. Ron Perlman has a small but pivotal role as a loud conservative TV personality. He has some great small moments throughout the movie but really gets to shine at the end when he puts the students in their place. Favorite line(s) spoken by Ron Perlman: "This was in the paper today. They want to do another Gay Pride Parade. I mean do you really think a bunch of Gays and Lesbians strutting through town constitutes a parade? Does anybody remember what it was like when we were kids and we had parades that meant something, that were about real wonderfully festive events with people dressed in wonderfully inventive costumes like kings and queens...you know, actually now that I think about it, that does sound a little bit like a Gay Pride March." Availability: VHS and DVD. Suggest: Amazon.com. I have bought from Amazon for years, both new and used, and have had no problems. Please make sure to check that the VHS/DVD is compatible with your country/region. This is worth a buy. By Tressa Lee Breen.
