What a weird little movie! Basic premise: there are two married inventors, Jindrich and Ruzenka. Jindrich is mild-mannered and seemingly a bit incompetent; Ruzenka is brilliant and domineering. (As you can probably imagine, their home life is the occasion for a number of gender role-reversal jokes.) Through a series of misunderstandings that I won't give away here, one of Ruzenka's inventions backfires and brings three comic book characters to life out of one of Jindrich's dreams -- a superheroine named Jessie and her two nemeses, a Wild West gunslinger and an evil Superman (!). The result: wild destruction, police chases, mistaken identity, potshots at government bureaucrats, and by the end, two new romantic pairings. Sounds great, right? Well, it's pretty good, but I can't help feeling like something is missing. "Who Wants to Kill Jessie?" is a lot of things, but it's not *very* anything. It's manic, but not nearly as manic as another movie about cartoons in the real world, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" It's visually creative, but not nearly as visually creative as another goofy Czech movie from 1966, "Daisies." Jessie herself is charming, but not nearly as charming as, say, Anna Karina. I guess I was just hoping for something more outrageous -- I know I'll get about 30 "unhelpful" votes for saying this, but something more like "Tank Girl." Still, you've got to love characters who only talk in speech bubbles.
