    I am a cartoonist by trade, and have a deep appreciation for good comedy. The emphasis here is on the phrase "good comedy", which this movie is neither any good nor funny. In the beginning, I expected that perhaps the bizarre way his sister was painted green, the space suite his mom was wearing, and the gosh-awful manner in which his dad was behaving like a sloppy, disgusting 3 year old (eating cereal while watching cartoons, and spilling milk EVERYWHERE), were all part of Jimmy Roberts "perception" of his family and home life. To my dismay, that was not the case. His family was, in fact, "out there". The concept of Jimmy needing a "brain transplant" in order to survive an accident, and receiving the brain of a deceased cartoon animator, had merit. Unfortunately, this movie was so badly written that I could not stomach watching more than the first fifteen minutes. Not worth it.
