A succession of frantic, and frequently brutal, slapstick episodes...raucous but largely mirthless.

A surprisingly shrewd and energetic romantic comedy.

Characters switch personalities in midscene, forget slights, ignore the obvious, abandon goals and betray family and friends just because the script demands it. No motivation required.
