I like to watch

Very funny film with a perfect ending. It's a bit overlong, but that's easy to forgive. Delightful little film, gorgeous Caleb Deschanel photography. The concept is so fun and delightful by the time you start to question just how everyone in the film could be so dense to Chance's simple-mindedness that you get to the ending and that makes you stop questioning it.
