This turned out to be a surprisingly good story. It starts out kind of slow; the guy who's tasked with piecing the story together is sort of bumbling about it a bit. In the end, that's a very good storytelling technique. I watched it without knowing the Monroe parallel in the story, and I think, discovering those along with the main character was intriguing. The comedy bits were spot on and not too corny. Acting is pretty good. Beautiful scenes and good camera work. My Rating: 7.0
