Trippy. No, you probably didn't read that right. I meant to write it in a way that sounded more like a stoner. Tripppy? Tttttrrrrrriiiippppppyyyyy, duuuude.

Something like that.

Anyway, I love Tim Robbins as an actor and you should take that statement into consideration when I say that this is one of his better films.

What I can say is that a doctor goes to Vietnam, and then leaves his wife, marries someone else becomes a Postal Employee… read the rest.
