Love Her or Lobster

Rating: 3/10 (29 August 2016)

If you think silliness is a substitute for genuine laughs or that absurdist allegory provides some heavy entertainment value, then you might get something out of this flick, otherwise it's a couple of hours lost from your existence despite solid " figures in a landscape " style cinematography buoyed by some big name stars. How this humorless, grim dystopian saga fits into the comedy genre as alleged is outside of my scope of comprehension. At any rate, in the future ( presumably ) there is a totalitarian Big Bro-mantic form of government ( perhaps ) regulating human breeding ( maybe ) for purposes which are never made clear. The story was apparently written by one or more attention deficit disorder sufferers as it skips from one episodic scene to another in a fragmented cinematic game of dominoes where the end of one scene may somewhat match the start of another but no significantly believable story line develops and plot inconsistencies are glossed over as if drenched in drawn butter. Emergent futuristic themes include " boners or loners ", " corporate drone love boat vacation ", " guerrilla fighter shaming tactics " and " if you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be? ". Regardless of our choice of species for non-human reincarnation, whether mammal, reptile or insect, at least we'd be spared from watching movies like this.
