a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
