could be a Solondz film?

This movie so makes me think of Todd Solondz. Happiness, Storytelling. I could have seen him writing this movie, except of course it would have to be in NJ instead of CA. It's still a wonderful film none the less.

I have always loved politically incorrect humour. The people who don't see it as a joke and don't realize that the ignorance behind the statements is what you are actually laughing at, the ones that believe it's true, those are the real people with the problems.

But Much Much Better than Solondz

This doesn't even come close to the level of wit in any of Solondz's films.

No, not many can beat Solondz, but it's still pretty good.

Oh c'mon... Solondz's films are incomprehensible. He is so obsessed with just shocking people that he forgets to put in story. Please explain Palindromes to me.

Palindromes shows the two sides of abortion through the innocence of a child who wants nothing more than to have a baby, who's mother took away the only chance she ever had.
