Appeal is a Complete Mystery!

Rating: 2/10 (26 January 2005)

The overwhelming praise for this film is beyond my comprehension. While it has a handful of darkly funny moments, and a fair splash of style, it's episodic, tasteless, sometimes downright disgusting, and far too quirky to make a good film.
It has so many elements critics decry at every opportunity as the things which prove "holywood" is completely out of touch with it's audience that it brands most as hypocritical. Seems to prove it's not the sex, drugs, violence, and vulgarity that critics actually object to, but simply the package they come in.
This is basically dreadful sludge masquerading as hip!
