A Subtle, Surreal and Entertaining Experience

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2006)

I pity all of the stupid people that dislike this film and I really do think they are stupid for disliking it. Has America been so dumbed down that they fail to recognize subtle brilliance? It seems that anything that does not involve Chris Tucker cracking jokes about white people just does not register with some people. And no, this film is not shallow, that is one of the most stupid remarks I have ever read. This film is not a story, it's about a surreal journey. This film has a dream-like strangeness that must be appreciated and applauded. You just have to go along for the ride and let yourself go. I am not going to lie, you need to be in the right frame of mind when watching it. But don't expect to see your average stupid Hollywood film here. Everything in it is subtle, including Jack Black's performance, which is amazing in itself (for more reasons than one). This is in the same vein as Napoleon Dynamite, but with a dash of Wes Anderson thrown in. Creative music, creative casting, just creative in general. I guess I like different and this film is different.
