Entirely absurd, filled with a degree of joyous creativity that I would never have expected, this is the best film I've seen in years. Although the storyline is utterly surreal, it's presented so matter-of-factly that one feels like to doubt the story would hurt someone's feelings. I have real trouble summarizing my reaction to this film except to say that I walked out of the theatre in happy amazement, a smile on my face. In fact, I had the same sensation of light-headed wonderment I felt the first time I saw "True Stories," making this literally the best movie I've seen in at least a decade.
In terms of comparisons, think of this as the light-hearted kid brother of "True Stories" or the farcical, silly, prankster cousin of "Twin Peaks."
