"The comedy, heart, passion, precision, and uniqueness present in F^¢k ‘Em R!ght B@¢k creates a seemingly magical film about the ridiculousness of life. As I mentioned, I had no idea what to expect going in, but the film is brilliant. The combination of Williams, the cinematography, and the cleverness of Doran’s script ensures that you’ll be laughing start to finish."
