Delayed Reaction: The Crying Game

The Pitch: You know what would make an IRA romance story more interesting: a penis.

What Took Me So Long: I never had an opportunity to see it and I never sought it out.

Why I Saw It: (Club 50) Thank god for the passing effects of time. Had I seen this when it came out (beyond the inappropriateness of me being 5), I surely would've been spoiled about the twist. I went into this so blindly, that the surprise reveal completely threw me. That was fun and soon, references started rushing back to me. The overall story is fine, but let's face it, this movie is famous for one moment.

Why I Wish I Hadn't: I thought it was a little dull outside of the twist.

Verdict (?): Weakly Recommend
