Great flick, get your shipping status straight, Amazon
Added 11/4/2009
At the time I placed the order, Amazon indicated this DVD would be shipped UPS and projected a reasonably quick delivery date. When it hadn't yet arrived by that delivery date, I checked the shipping status and found that it supposedly had already been delivered by the USPS. The next day I checked with the USPS, and they indicated that UPS considers the package delivered when they deliver it to the local USPS office. The following day, two days after the "delivered" date, it finally arrived via USPS. This is nonsense. The whole purpose of allowing a customer to track the shipping status is to provide them with accurate information, not to leave them wondering where the item they paid for and now shows as "delivered" actually ended up.

an entertaining little story with likeable characters
Added 10/14/2009
While I don't think this movie will blow anyone away, I do think it's a good story (based on a long short story or novella, by Etgar Keret - whose short stories I highly, highly recommend)and an interesting take on suicide. By focusing on the humorously monotonous afterlives of a couple characters (all of whom are very likeable) and then adding an eccentric Tom Waits (another genuius whose body of work I highly recommend)we get a unique take on suicide, friendship, love, life and afterlife. If you're the increasingly rare type who can enjoy a movie without supermodels and explosions, then I think you'll probably enjoy Wristcutters - A love story.
Oh, and as an added bonus, the music of gogol bordello makes up a large part of the soundtrack (this movie actually served as my introduction to both Keret and Gogol - and by proxy Eugene Hutz... yet another genius)

I ordered this movie a few weeks ago and upon recieving it, I tried to PLAY it on my
DVD Player - DID NOT WORK!
Computer - Barely viewable, very scratched and DODGY!
It was very disappointing, and I do not advise you buy this product.
It simply does NOT work.

Highly Underrated Magical Romantic Comedy
Added 9/30/2009
I wasn't expecting much from this movie with its bland poster and bizarre title, but what I discovered was one of the best romantic comedies in recent memory. Inventive and eccentric, this movie is touching without being maudlin. I liked it so much I sought out its source material and fell in love with the rest of Etgar Keret's short stories.

Great buy!
Added 9/19/2009
My purchase came just as promised; new and never been viewed. It was perfectly wrapped, played well, and shipped in a timely manner. I love this movie, and the product was wonderful!
