no redeeming value whatsoever

Rating: 1/10 (27 July 2010)

didn't know what to expect. claymation. then began watching. appalled. 40 year old mentally unstable man in a friendship with a child too young. drunk mother (who seemed to be the only one with the senses to not allow the 'friendship'. disgusting remarks throughout, continually, as tho it was necessary to be disgusting just to keep the audience awake. plodding. and just when towards the end, i thought it might redeem itself......it didn't! and why bill the movie as toni collette/philip Hoffman, when collette's voice doesn't even show up until more than 1/2 way thru. why? because no one would watch, that's why! waste of time and talents.
