Funny *and* intelligent? When was the last time you could say that about a movie?! A feast for any serious move lover. A shocking indictment of televisual culture and product placement ("Is this the movie or is this the advert?"), this is an amazing, incredible, vital, sharp, witty and telling critique of post-modern society. Lame? Not at all - with slapstick humour and more than enough intellectual depth to keep even the most ardent academic entangled for weeks (intertextuality, postmodernism, surrealism, etc. etc.), this film has something for everybody. For the simple film-goer, its a light hearted comedy, with cues from the Marx brothers, Chaplin and the age-old traditions of slapstick comedy. For the more serious viewer, the sheer depth of the director's passion for cinema shines through. I haven't a bad thing to say about this film... please see it.
