This movie is attempting to be a lot of things all at once, and has the attention span of an ADHD child in a chinashop. It's sloppy and most of the ideas, gags, characters, whims, plots don't go anywhere; but what is endearing and why I amThis movie is attempting to be a lot of things all at once, and has the attention span of an ADHD child in a chinashop. It's sloppy and most of the ideas, gags, characters, whims, plots don't go anywhere; but what is endearing and why I am in love with this movie is the chaotic energy put forth in the effort. At its heart it is most like HEATHERS. The pace is consistently frantic, the performances are charming, and the script is maddening-genius. You'll know in the first five-minutes if this film is for you.… Expand

Even though the film switches gears with almost every scene, the unity of force and momentum never waivers. All this said, one must realize that everything I've said that I like about this film, also seems to work against it. Anyone outside of its core audience will probably hate it. Regardless of the evident love and care put into the film.… Expand
