An incredibly profound and sensitive surrealist masterpiece hidden in a low budget shit bag comedy that smells like farts and Faygo. A movie with all the aesthetic sense of bathroom graffiti. One of the most brilliant, stupid, and smelly, and ridiculous things I’ve seen in a while. Outstanding!!!

Format: DVD (movie madness Portland!)

In a good way, this is the film equivalent to vomiting and not feeling better at all.

It has an unusual comedic structure that I really appreciate, where it builds a nauseous atmosphere and lets it play out, rather than using the normal build-up and catharsis structure of jokes, which would have made it easier to process. This lack of catharsis prevents Abbie from becoming the butt of the joke; the disgust, claustrophobia, and slow pacing all force you to feel how Abbie feels, preventing it from becoming a simple stoner/gross-out comedy.
