84 Charing Cross Road meets The PJs...

Rating: 7/10 (6 September 2010)

It's a fine line, the one between sanity and insanity. Take 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD, for instance: a beautiful story, beautifully told. Charter a ship to the other side of the ocean and you might very well find yourself in the Claymation world of THE PJs (The ProJects)- a very different milieu, indeed. Now, combine the two very disparate elements and flavor it all with just a touch of David Lynch and you get... MARY AND MAX. It's not a bad mix, really, though a bit on the slow side (not that there's anything wrong with Slow: some of my best friends are Slow...). It'll do until somebody bootlegs some episodes of THE NOBLETS. (I have to confess I greatly preferred the alternate ending to the one they used.)
