Hilarious, somewhat over-acted dark comedy., 27 June 2002
9/10
Author: Erik (snikrepkire) from Maine, USA

We saw this at a showing of all the short films, animated and non-, that were nominated for Oscars. With the exception of two of the animated films (Grey Area or Gray Area and the Pixar birds on the line thing) it was the best of them. The title character was a piece of genius, though a bit overdone in my opinion. This film, though in a rather dark comic fashion, addresses some fairly serious problems in the reality of America's heartland, American "culture", politics, and human nature. The last line of the film is a real Lulu that kept me chuckling whenever I recalled it for days.
