This movie..

I just watched it and I'm left with kind of bizzare feeling. Not the kind of "Hmm, I really didn't understand the ending", more like "What did I just watch?".

I didn't laugh once during the film, not because I didn't get the jokes but because I didn't find any jokes. I don't know, maybe I should watch it again when I'm drunk.

But anyway, what is this "movie"? I'm left with a feeling that there is "something" in it that would explain what this movie "really is" and I just missed it. It can't be a 2 hour 30 minutes long "Knock knock. Who's there? A shovel. A shovel who? A shoveling shovel." joke, right? There has no be some sense in the whole thing right?

Actually I laughed out Loud a couple times but yes this movie is insanely strange. BUT in a good way. Most of the skits are connected and the at first glance superficial characters have some depth. It's an insane illogical puzzle but a damn fun one.

Oh there is plenty of sense right there, but is not of the kind you're looking for

The film certainly works better in a festival setting or with a large group of friends. Simply sitting down on a Tuesday and popping this thing into the DVD player is not going to work for you.

It's so odd I laughed my a** off! It sure was very strange movie, but perhaps maybe you just weren't in the mood for it?

Anyway I watched it sober and I enjoyed it.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
