Eleanor Gaver wrote and directed this slapstick comedy-fantasy about graffiti-artist Jeff (Noah Taylor), who loves artist Mona (Fairuza Balk). After Mona produces a painting in which a church sculpture crushes a girl, she sees a church accident identical to her painting, although a stranger (Patrick Dempsey) intervenes. Mona takes a fickle fancy to this man and ends her relationship with Jeff, who enlists the help of Mona's boss (Tea Leoni) to mail himself to Mona in a box. When Mona tries to open the box, she impales Jeff with a pair of scissors, and the film then focuses on efforts to get rid of the body. Shown at the 1998 Hamptons Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

    Wow! was this movie bad. Very stupid. I thought it would be a decent story, but it quickly became totally scattered and made no sense. I finally turned it off after an hour or so.

    While this movie shows promise at the beginning, it takes the viewer on a ride through religious undertones, comedic interlude, and bizarre tangants. Fairuza over acted in parts, and it was hard to see what the point of the movie was. At the end I was left with the feeling that I had just wasted an hour and a half of my life. And if it is actually thought about the ending didn't make sense. If time was reversed then he wouldn't still be dead. For a movie that you don't have to think about, or to have on as background noise while doing other things, this movie is great. However, if you are looking for a movie to have a coherant story line and linear plot, maybe look for something else.
