Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
