Phillip Seymour Hoffman (PSH) and De Niro give truly great performances in this movie. The movie is a comedy-drama-crime flick, because nowadays nothing is just one genre. Among the great lines: "There's no romance without finance" by Rusty the drag queen, sorry female impressionist. I'd say IMDb's 6.2 average rating is seriously low. I give this movie a 9. It's about difficult, ornery human beings, dealing with tough lives. Hail to movies that are more about human stories and great scripts, rather than all mindless action and computer graphics. You should watch this movie! It deals with drag queens, stroke victims, cops, gay people, lonely Latin gals, and tango lovers with great sensitivity. It emphasizes the fragility, persistence and dignity of human beings. The anger, joy, and love of music of PSH's character is really inspiring.
