Please don't spend money on this.
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
1/9/17. You can call this "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Mushrooms." In a matter of just 50 minutes, Fortey manages to entice you with the wonders of an edible (well, you have to know what you're eating) wonder on this planet. Many times we just think of mushrooms as serving no useful purpose but be a food source for animals and humans, growing from decaying trees. NOT. Watch and learn something new!
