Reaction: Obviously this film is not an easy one to explain, which may have hurt the marketing a bit. This also marks the third consecutive film starring Timothee Chalamet to flop at the box office - granted none of them have been in easily marketable genres.




"This may be one of the most unique concepts I’ve seen a while and it works very well. It helps that Jim Carey is at his best as Shep, but the music is fun and it’s a great, dazzling and rather unusual (in the good way) take of a coming of age story." - Mitchell Walker, New York Times



"The overall plot is well-done, but the world and its rules just feel off to me. That said, it was clear that the writers were having fun writing this one and it translates on the screen. Even when things are getting too odd for my liking, the on-screen happenings remain entertaining." - Brenton Smalls, Playboy





"This film, with its overly-long title, is perhaps too weird for its own good. The target audience has to be pretty small for something strange, and you cannot count me among that group, unfortunately. It was an interesting experiment, but not one I'd be rushing out to watch again any time soon." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press






Rated PG-13 for language and thematic material
