It's a whimsical fantasy comedy. Movie plays out like a videogame. Lots of weird action scenes that seem a birt arty farty and not really befitting of a supposedly prime time movie I am afraid . It has no gravitas. The comedy is quite childish as it were aimed at teenagers. It has a faux serious storyline that doesn't seem very profound. Lots of slapstick comedy like you would find on a light early evening tv comedy series. However, forsome reason it seems to have garnered a lot of critical acclaim and won may prizes. I am amazed. Seems very strange. Don't know how it won the oscar for best film!
