The underlying message in this film is great; that no matter what choices you make or what path you choose in life, all that matters is love, hope, and kindness. But the execution of that message in EEAAO was chaotic, violent, and just plain painful to watch. Imagine being in a well-stocked kitchen preparing a huge pot of everything in the pantry and fridge. Everything. Just open every damn can, jar, bottle, carton, package, spice, and dump it all in the pot; flavors you like, and flavors that you find horribly distasteful. Dinner guests would likely find the concept unique, but would not likely find the dish itself palatable. That is my take in this film. Far too much for far too long. The 3 stars are for acting, otherwise I'd give this a very reluctant 1 star (only because I can't give zero).
