Review: very much a home video , and so devoid of artifice and purpose that it appears not to have been edited at all . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: gives no quarter to anyone seeking to pull a cohesive story out of its 2 1/2 - hour running time 
Sentiment: negative

Review: the most creative , energetic and original comedies to hit the screen in years 
Sentiment: positive

Review: , its brain is a little scattered -- ditsy , even . 
Sentiment: negative


Review: when not wallowing in its characters ' frustrations , the movie is busy contriving false , sitcom-worthy solutions to their problems .
