Watched Drive Away Dolls the other night. Freaking hilarious!!! The way the dialogue rolled off every ones tongues, I was reminded of Raising Arizona. One of the funniest movies of all time! It does have the Coen (only one and his wife), but I haven't enjoyed a smart comedy like that in a long time.
