havent seen the movie but just wanted to comment on Lou Lumenick's quote calling Darjeeling Limited a "fiasco." You sir, should find an exceptionally tall edifice to throw yourself off.

The script was wonderful, the story had me laughing the entire time. I loved it. The acting was fantastic too. I had no doubts in the acting with the cast. The end had a bit of cheese to it, but otherwise perfect! :)
