If you want a movie without violence, drugs, car chases or sex, watch it! While Sam and Joon's budding relationship seems clichéd and humor applied to Joon's condition a bit brutal, there's something profound about it And the enduring truth - laughter and love heal the intractable, they show trust and respect. Psychopathic issues are masked in this film, it sends a message of hope, this film is good because it succeeds A great way to tell the story of two psychopaths and never make them helpless victims. Instead, at worst, they're just turbulent and funny characters, and at best, they're absolutely charming and warm!

Sam: You don't like raisins?
Joon: Not really.
Sam: Why?
Joon: They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I am a big supporter of the raisin council.
Sam: Did you see those, those raisins on TV? The ones that sing and dance and stuff?
Joon: They scare me.
Sam: Yeah me too
Joon: It's sick. The commercial people they make them sing and dance so people will eat them.
Sam: It's a shame about raisins.
Joon: Cannibals.
Sam: Yeah. Do you like avocados?
Joon: They're a fruit you know.
Sam: Ruthie, do you got any avocados?
