The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The great thing about this weird little comedy, are its characters. Everyone of them lives in their own world, with their own projections, fantasies and "reality". The viewer knows what each character thinks and wants most of the time, even if they are not displaying it publicly for the others to know.And that is exactly what makes this fun to watch. The premise is pretty simple, throwing in a factor that puts everything off balance. But then it wasn't really balanced to begin with (see characters views of things). The movie is going places that are mean, but that is why I liked it. It doesn't take prisoners (maybe literally, but not really).
