Swiss Army Man

I want to give some extra points for daring to take weird creative risks... This movie definitely does that. Unfortunately the result is by turns maudlin, twee, and gross. I can imagine everyone involved reading the script and thinking "wow, that's not something I see every day". On the other hand, maybe there's a reason for that? Other than the premise, there's nothing particularly striking or exciting about this movie -- it's not visually interesting, the dialogue is banal, the soundtrack blandly inoffensive. It turns out, there's more to movie-making than a strikingly original idea.
