Wonderful character development!
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
