You're So Far Behind You Think You're First

I put off watching Shortbus for months because it felt over-hyped and I didn't want to watch it only to be annoyed and let down. Finally, after much pestering from Andre, I watched it tonight and I have to admit it was better than I expected. In fact, it included a rare beast - a couple I actually liked and wanted to see stay together. PJ Deboys starts off a bit annoying, but by the end of it you love him for loving his partner and trying his best to make things work. And yeah for Paul Dawson. He breaks my heart with all his teary eyed angst.
