Not as fulfilling as I'd hoped. submitted by pej08 on July 20, 2015, 4:11pm Based on what I'd heard and read about this movie, I was expecting something obscure and different, which I tend to like. I like it when a movie can surprise me, when it's not formulaic. That being said, this movie left me with more questions than when I started watching it. Although the cast is fun, and the plot is interesting and original, a lot of the original elements weren't explained clearly. So, though I don't mind figuring some things out on my own in a movie, I didn't really appreciate spending almost the entire time trying to make sense of what was happening. Maybe I just need to watch it again. So I'd say this movie is worth a watching just to see something original and colorful and creative, but this isn't a good date night movie.
