Wow, this is another strange movie. Maybe "bizarre" are even "weird" would be better descriptions. Since it's a favorite of national critics, you know it's not a movie that most normal people are going to like.
I watched this movie twice, and found it to be one of those films that is very interesting the first time around, but tiresome and almost stupid on the second look. Some movies are like that, mainly the ones which are wacky and the viewer is shocked at what he's seeing. When the shock wears off, it isn't so entertaining. That was case here. On the first look, it kept my attention because I was wondering what crazy thing was going to happen next. It's hard to explain this film because its a combination of genres and an attempt at black humor. I say "attempt" because on the second viewing, I didn't find it very funny. Be warned, too, on the first viewing: the first 25 minutes are slow, and then it picks up, so stick with it.
