With a rictus smile shellacked on its face, the film grapevines along the razor-thin line between annoying idiocy and demented inspiration. Few films so violently, deludedly believe in themselves, and even if the high pitch of its humor makes one want to plug their ears, this jazz-handed freakshow demands some measure of respect for the simple fact of its dumbfounding, throbbing existence.
