Strange but Fun

This movie was a delightful find one late night on cable. I've since purchased the movie on DVD, which includes an extra scene with Johnny and "Freak Storm" played by Nick Cave. For Brad Pitt Fanatics, this movie is a must-see as he plays quite the unique role in this one.

Johnny can't find "it". Everyone else has "it" and he knows "it" must be out there. This is the story about what happens when "it" finds him. The viewer is left to decide what "it" is.

Probably best labeled a romantic comedy, there's a good dose of tongue-in-cheek humor in both the plot as well as the imagery. Camera work is simple, but there are tons of bleak scenes captured which seem to summarize the life of the lead character. There's a ton of symbolism in the movie as well for those who like a more artistic twist in movies.

If you like movies that are a little "off", a little strange, a little odd, you'll probably like this one. If you're looking for high-budget production, fast action, laugh-out-loud fun, this isn't for you.
