Viewing Notes

I loved Ghost World and Bad Santa (haven’t seen Crumb yet), so I was hoping for something decent here.

I didn’t get it. Being an art major in college, I found the broad character sketches too hollow and cliched for my liking.

Not a terrible film, just not nearly as good as Zwigoff’s other work.
