Random juxtaposition of images and knowingly politically incorrect attitudes are not funny in themselves. Brian Lynch is talentless and I'm glad the Jim Henson Company dropped his Muppets script. This film is an atrocious waste of celluloid. The acting is pathetic, the script so self indulgent you wonder why didn't Brian Lynch just get some hand lotion and Kleenex and avoid wasting everyone else's time and the direction is....wait, WHAT direction? This is fourteen hours of my life (well, two that felt like fourteen) that I can't ever have back. I'd be more content knowing I wasted them walking around my town or sitting on my sofa. Brian Lynch does not understand comedy, he just wants to. The Cigarette Fairy? Kevin Smith as an arty director? Using big words to sound like intelligent comedy? These are not the marks of a comedic auteur. Avoid it!
