A film of many brilliant comedic setups, but some dark revelations in the second half could cause viewers to think back on what has gone before and a few things that were previously hilarious suddenly become sad … perhaps even tragic.

The result is a silly and grim tale with dark shades of film noir in the finale, ending with what has become a typical flourish of fatalism. There are laughs aplenty throughout, but the lasting impressions are thoughts of just how insane this nutty world really is. A truthful observation, but one that all of us already know too well.
