Don't let the subject matter fool you - this was a charming and very funny movie. I saw The Diving Bell and the Butterfly a few weeks ago and while there are obvious similarities this movie felt more accessible (this is not meant to be a criticism of that movie). Of course, it doesn't hurt that it starred the criminally underrated John Hawkes. More than anything that movie is about the human experience. While the story is obviously about the lead's desire to experience what it is like to be a sexual human being if for just a moment, there is a fantastic sub-plot that stars William H. Macy as a priest. At one point Macy's character is asked to put aside his collar and give Hawke's character as a human being and friend. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would not have changed a minute of it.
