| | I liked this movie. | Anonymous 09/28/2009 | I have heard that this movie was a flop, I don't think so, it is pretty good I think, and it is also sad. Trigger will make you so hungry that after seeing this movie, you have to get something to eat... and you will feel bad for eating it when she can't have any.
