    This movie is very odd, but if that is your thing then this is for you. I think that if you take a step back and soak in all of the meaning, then this is an interestingly depressing film about overcoming the mundane ins and outs of life. It is not by any means a knee slapper. It makes you think, and for some that can be bit overwhelming. All and all, I will never watch it again.

    I understood that this would be a very Odd story when I rented it, and I liked the actors starring in the movie ...But... it was very very slow! I kept waiting for it to pick up and then halfway thru realized it wasn't going to happen and that you were watching the mundane existences of all characters without much change. The human combustion humor should have been funnier and the ending should have at least explained more. Sorry, but I can not recommend this movie, although I'm sure there are people who will appreciate it better than I.
