This was just a little too wacky to be either funny or serious. I was just trying to suspend disbelief the whole time.

One of the strangest movies I've ever seen! Definitely give it kudos for originality. It's just good enough to stay to the end, but really no laughs to be a comedy and not serious enough to be a good drama.
