This bizzaro movie randomly pops into my head all the time, as I draw yet another parallel between it and reality. Agonisingly accurate, hilariously and tragically funny, this film uses it's surreal premise to skewer our far more bizzare acceptance of certain judgements regarding relationships, self worth, and worth to society. It's actually only surreal in very small ways, because it's real power comes from its utterly Literal, absolutely unflinching acting out of the ridiculous things we tell ourselves and each other. I love this movie so much for how well it turns our perspective into something brand new.

I guess they wanted to do something different but in my opinion it didn't work... I tried so hard to watch it all only because Colin Farrell was in it but I couldn't it was crap... waste of my money

Just make sure you're in the mood for some art house craziness. Brilliantly acted and laugh out loud funny in places.
