really…interesting.
Really.
But oh my golly is it DARK. There’s no way you can call this a comedy…it’s more of a horror movie without the violence and with lots of stomach-churningly uncomfortable scenes. And a few laughs.
Kudos to Jim Carrey for not putting out another ‘Ace Ventura’ clone. THAT would have been a hit. THIS was not. But you’ve gotta admire the attempt at branching out. Well, you don’t have to…but I do.
The problem is there is no real category for this…no fans of any particular genre will be really satisfied with it. It’s a very interesting, weird, flawed enigma.
Grade: B-
