Purely Joyful Movie!
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
