Maybe it's just me, but I got lost as soon as the other dimension or whatever kicked in. It just didn't make any sense to me, And up to that point, the story did not engage me - the frantic goings-on at a family-run laundromat, and an IRS audit conducted by a character played by Jamie Lee Curtis made to look frumpier than ever. I really didn't care for the characters, and I figured out pretty quickly that I didn't care what was happening to the lead actor; thus, my wife and I agreed we needed to find something else to watch. Can't figure out why this was a best picture nominee: perhaps it's because The Academy now nominates more that just five motion pictures each year. As a result, they dig deeper in the barrel and dredge out a few iffy choices. This definitely is one of those.
