First of all I can't believe the bad reviews this gets. If people giving it bad reviews actually understood art they wouldn't be rating it so badly. There is a LOT of good art in this film. The cinematography alone is impressive enough that if it were looked at by any film student or teacher they would be able to see all of the art being put into it. But unfortunately most of the people who are reviewing this film here don't.
Also, some of these people don't seem to understand what satire is. So of course they wouldn't understand a film that is the literal ultimate satire. But if you know what satire is and appreciate one, you are bound to like this film. I personally love satires, and think this is one of the best ever made, next to "In The Loop" which is more serious and political. But this film is a great one because it is the opposite of that, being simply comedic, and on the silly ridiculous side of satire, which is a side that many people have always enjoyed.
And this film is really on the deep end of that one. If you are looking for a seriously hardcore late night belly laugh comedy this is a top pick for that. This movie is hilarious and has so many laugh out loud moments, with lots of different kinds of comedy. It has dumb slapstick humor, intelligent witty humor, sexual humor, creative humor, intellectual humor, and more!
This movie is also incredibly artistic. It is so creative in how it is both written and edited/produced. The cinematography alone as I mentioned earlier gives this film a very surreal, almost psychedelic ambiance to it. And it gets a little intellectually stimulating at times. It does actually have a few significant messages and statements in it. It even plays upon one feminist ideal in an ironic way but I won't spoil anything. Just know that this is an intelligent comedy as well as a silly one, and that a lot of thought obviously went into it.
In short, as someone who has studied film and has an understanding and appreciation of the themes this work is combining, that of comedy, murder mystery, horror, and porn, all tied together with the fine art of satire, I find this film to be a truly great masterpiece. I do think this will garner a cult following. It is worth a watch if you enjoy any of those genres.
