@gwarren1793 100% agree. I think the only people drawn to this movie feel like they have to convince themselves that it was brilliant to justify the 2 hrs they just wasted on complete crap. I was drawn to the dystopian themed future in the description, a society where everyone must find a mate within 45 days or be turned into an animal. Curiosity got the better of me; but come to find out its really a commentary about human relationships acted out by people who don't look, sound, or act human. I would like to say it was terrible acting, but there were veteran actors in starring roles. Fans of this movie like to believe this is a direct correlation to modern society and the way it sees relationships. I disagree. I think they just put the bunch of weirdos together (think the kids you remember from school who ate chalk and licked the doorknobs) in a hotel, figuring if they can get along and be happy, we will let them. If not, we turn them into animals. We will let the rest of society act like normal human beings, and these idiots can room together and practice some self control. If they can't, we will stick their hand in a toaster (best scene in the movie, John C. Reily!!).

@gwarren1793 it's comically absurd and enjoyable in that sense with an almost monty python British ridiculousness

Loved this movie, a very smart commentary on society and brilliant cast but I understand that it may not work for everyone.
