Droll, lonely dwarf moves into abandoned rural train station, meets lonely hot dog vendor, lonely librarian, lonely mourning divorcee. Hijinx ensue.

Had a thread for this back at the old site, I think. Since seeing this, we refer to all clubs as "You know, Train of the Month Club."

Meant to see this movie forever and wound up renting it the other night.

Dinklage shoulda got 12 Oscars for that.

Can't believe it took me this long to watch this film. Was really good stuff. The cinemtography was excellent. Shocked that the budget for this thing was only $500,000.

Liked it so much on DVD that I immediately watched it again with commentary from the director and three lead actors. That was a fun.

My wife is more of a re-renter than I am, and we just saw this again. Please be reassured that this is still a wonderful film.

Turned out McCarthy was also used as a writer on Up. Disney buys up the talent like the Yankees.
