Feels like a parody of David Lynch


I saw this for the first time last night on TV and it reminded me of a parody of a David Lyncy movie (something like Mulholland Drive, though that was made after LA Story?).

Anyway it had a lot of random and absurd moments that reminded me of David Lynch. And a lot of unsavoury moments too!!!

Kinda like a vanilla Lynch doing comedy :)

It also has a slow-motion suburbian opening like "Blue Velvet"...

Interesting.

It seems anything the slightest bit surreal is always going to be compared to Lynch.

It does feel like they're shooting for a style or an homage. Not a great movie but ambitious.

reply

lots of funny moments but nothing unsavoury that i can think of.
