When Pigs Fly
Well, perhaps you won't have to wait that long to see this gem of a British comedy from the late Nineties. Good thing, too, if you like this sort of thing: quirky, smart, fresh, and completely disarming. It seems to have come in rather below the radar of most film viewers in the U.S., and it's still (as of Sept. '03) available only on VHS in the States. Start lobbying now for a DVD viewable in America, 'cause you're going to want to own it, and you're going to want to show it to all your friends--all, that is, who might be in the mood for something offbeat and weird. (A Jewish-British quest romance, anyone?) But the film eludes simple categorization. It's hard to imagine how any casual flight of whimsy could have produced this particular, tender riff on the classic coming-of-age situation. Be forewarned, though, guys: it's a bad choice for a date movie.

Leon The Pig Farmer
This was a strange movie, but I love it. It was very funny. And the reilgous jokes were not that bad. Mark Frankel did a great job. I love the whole part were he is at the bowling alley. When he got hit in the face by the ball, I never thought I was going to stop laughing. It was a great movie. Everyone should see it. I would buy it for a friend

Thanks

A GREAT, GREAT MOVIE!
A wonderful, funny, thoughtful movie with Jewish themes, concerning identity, family and love. Strongly recommended. I bought this movie several years ago after seeing it at the Palm Springs film festival. Also has a very good "jazz" sound tract.
