Unusual, entertaining, and sometimes thoughtful for the first 90% or so. Could be said to be low-brow, but that's a low-brow sort of thing to say in a review and betrays a dismissive perspective that is, at best, already unwilling to experience the thing without unconscious prejudice. I liked it, anyways. Found myself really laughing a couple of times. Eventually you get to the last 10%, at which point the feeling that the script is unravelling and the filmmakers have lost control may begin to set in. I say rest assured this is not the case. Make it through the last 10%. Stick with it. I am writing this 24 hours after seeing it. The whole thing fits together very nicely.
