WTF?? (SPOILER ALERT!!)


I kind of liked this film. It's obviously about love and relationships, and had a kind of enchanting and whimsical nature. However, having seen Miranda July's previous film "Me, You and Everyone We Know", I knew there would be a bunch of wtf moments, and I was correct. To wit:

How could such a crappy dancer teach dance??

What was with the global warming bs??

30 days, 30 dances??

The guy just quits his job??

Her goofy phone conversation with the other guy??

They delivered trees to their apartment by knocking on the door and then running??

She goes over to the guy's house and bends over the couch to have sex with him?? Could she maybe kiss him first or something?? And she says she's "not that kind of girl"??

The old guy explaining the controls of a hairdryer?? A hairdryer?? And he writes dirty limericks??

The guy's child is digging a fox hole in the back yard?? But she's not digging to China because that would be racist?? What kind of PC nonsense is that?? And then she decides to spend the night in the hole?? And her father is okay with that??

The guy stops time, and has a lengthy conversation with the moon?? Really?

A yellow t shirt is seen creeping along the ground, and then into the guy's house?? Then she puts on the t shirt like a body sock, and starts a weird dance?? (Ding a ling academy?)

The poor cat is put down because of these two space cadets forget to come pick him/her up?? But his/her spirit is "still in the cage"?? (I hated them for that cruelty.)

He tells her "Just one night, and in the morning you go?? They don't even discuss the situation and try to come to a reckoning??

The Ending?? Are they going to stay together or split??

The credits say that this was filmed in California. Duh! Where else would a goofy movie like this be filmed??


Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, and / or doesn't.
