A duo of existential investigators. That's right - existential investigators. What a bizarre premise! Bizarre yet, amazing. I had no idea what to expect and whatever I could have expected it was something completely different. Quite and impressive cast, and a creative use of language. Great film, watch it to just go along for the ride.
Favourite Quote:
"Don't use that tone with me."
"I think you started that tone."
Shannon's Overall View:
I loved it
I'd watch it again
I'd recommend it, but be prepared to be outside of the box

Jamie mentioned this movie to me, hmmm, I like the sound of it! "I think you started that tone", LOL, cheeky monkey statement, yup, I think I'll like it.
I had a hard time with this one, but my BF Mike LOVES it. He was totally into the "existential investigator" idea!
