Not consistent with the wrapups of any of the other threads. Also, didn't see the point of having the nudity!

He told me that he saw it with another friend, who fell asleep during it and that this aptly conveyed both their feelings on the movie. Having seen the movie, I called him on apparently not liking it, only to be informed that he had, infact, loved it.<br/><br/>Maybe he took the miscommunication theme of the movie to heart.

Drawing on one of the themes of the movie, a friend of mine gave a very confusing initial account of it. He told me that he saw it with another friend, who fell asleep during it and that this aptly conveyed both their feelings on the movie. Having seen the movie, I called him on apparently not liking it, only to be informed that he had, infact, loved it.

Maybe he took the miscommunication theme of the movie to heart.
