Movie #215 "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" has a witty script, and such a flow to it ------once it gets started. It took me two times starting the movie --- had trouble getting into it, but once it piqued my interest (about 15 minutes in it or so), the film took off for me and it was a continual delight as each calamity builds on to the next one! Love the people in it, too. Kudos to Almodovar, the director. His stuff never fails to amaze me --- but for different reasons. This one was a hoot, and now I understand the big poster that Dave's sister Kate owned with all the characters from this film. It has been in my Saved queue for netflix until Netflix got a hold of it, and I'm so glad I waited to see it! Thanks, Kate, for this one!
