3. You will LOVE Welcome to Collinwood. It was one of those odd kinda

comedies and it didn't have a happy ending either.

5. I'm not surprised. It didn't stay in the theaters for long at all. It's

not another flashy brainless remake of something. If you don't love the movie, you have no sense of humour at all. NONE I SAY! :-)

7. actually,it IS a remake.

here's a comment from imdb

"Welcome to Collingwood" offers some of the most hilarious dialog in recent memory. Watching this comedy directed by the brothers Anthony and Joe Russo reminded us of maybe another film we had seen in the past, but since we missed the opening credits, we had to wait until the end to discover that what we were reminded of, was the 1958 Italian film "Big Deal on Madonna Street", directed by Mario Monicelli.
