Pros: great songs
Cons: some foul language
Summary: I watched "ONCE", not just once, but twice. :)That being said, this is a very different kind of film. It comes across almost as "homemade" -- an indy movie. It feels as if the filmmaker just chose two people off of the street to begin ... read more
