This film was one of the best surreal films I actually enjoyed in a long time, great WILD style, love the way he animates the faces to its very creepy but awesome at the same time, I enjoyed the first half better than the last half though.It seems like an hour and ten mins is very short but like other people said the pacing is a bit over the top I found, the first half kept me purley entertained and never got bored once, but then the last half it felt like there were almost no breaks, it was just a wild rollar coaster until the end which was just as amazing and unique as the first half but its not as powerful because its just so much to take in so fast, it should of had bigger breaks towards the end, one other minor thing irradiated me was how they shoot at the woman and husband at the end point blank range for like 5 minutes and they just dodge them all, I know its not taken seriously but that just felt so dragged out and took away from the overall ending experience.But thats just the negative, go watch this film IT IS AMAZING its like nothing I have ever seen before, best words to describe it....Fantasia on speed and acid.

I love Bill Plympton's animation. I remember going to animation festivals in the early-to-mid 80's and his short-shorts being a staple. He has an active imagination, his work shows movement at all times, and his artwork even approaches beauty in its own way.That all being said, this is a movie that could have been. The trademark Bill Plympton weirdness is all there, and it's really all the film is about. This could have easily been a twenty-minute short, and probably should have been. The same plot actions are repeated over and over again, simply to give Plympton opportunities to be more weird. These pieces -- in themselves -- are fascinating, but it makes the entire movie crawl. There IS a plot, it's just very underdeveloped.I'd still recommend it to Plympton fans, but anyone else will be extremely annoyed.

I feel sorry for the people that said they were bored during this movie and that was the only thing they had to say about it. This movie was a wonderful fantasy in which Plympton used the animated media to its highest potential. This movie does have something to offend just about everyone, from extreme profanity, extreme violence, to bizarre (but funny) sex scenes to quoting Hermann Goring?? The bird sex scene in the opening probably did a good job offending most of the population and let you know there was a really raunchy good time ahead; the facial expressions were great! Another great part to look for is when one character watches the "How To Make Love To A Woman" video. There was one segment I rewound the tape three times and STILL couldn't hear what was said because I was laughing SO HARD! WONderful movie and such an improvement over "The Tune".

I find Bill Plympton's animation on MTV to be interesting. Having said that, I think this theatrical release proves that his work is best limited to the short format. Numerous times during the screening, I found myself looking at my watch and marvelling that only five more minutes had passed since the last time I looked. The jerky animation had only a little to do with it; it was just simply not all that interesting as a whole. Not bad, but definitely not all that good either.
