L'Impitoyable Lune de miel !

This film was one of the best surreal films I actually enjoyed in a long time, great WILD style, love the way he animates the faces to its very creepy but awesome at the same time, I enjoyed the first half better than the last half though.

It seems like an hour and ten mins is very short but like other people said the pacing is a bit over the top I found, the first half kept me purley entertained and never got bored once, but then the last half it felt like there were almost no breaks, it was just a wild rollar coaster until the end which was just as amazing and unique as the first half but its not as powerful because its just so much to take in so fast, it should of had bigger breaks towards the end, one other minor thing irradiated me was how they shoot at the woman and husband at the end point blank range for like 5 minutes and they just dodge them all, I know its not taken seriously but that just felt so dragged out and took away from the overall ending experience.

But thats just the negative, go watch this film IT IS AMAZING its like nothing I have ever seen before, best words to describe it....

Fantasia on speed and acid.

Bill Plympton's feature-length cartoon is about how Our Hero gets a boil in his neck that permits him to change things into other things. Because he is newly married, this upsets his bride (even though the sex is great), and she rushes home to her parents. Meanwhile, the CEO of minor TV network Smilecorp hears of this ability and orders its military division to seize the person, or at least the boil, using all sorts of armaments.

At this point, the story, such as it is, loses any sign of coherence; with the ability to change anything into anything else, how can it be otherwise? Still, there are some fine Plympton gag sequences, and the animation is a little fuller than it usually is for his work; apparently he got more money for this production than usual.

None of which serves to make it a great cartoon. Although the gimmick suits Plympton's wild sensibilities, the open-ended nature of it seems to have overwhelmed the film maker.

Yes, there are a few dull parts. I will admit that. However, there are also parts that will make you wish you had gone to the bathroom a few minutes ago, before you started laughing so hard that your bladder's about to burst. And then you start thinking about you bladder bursting. And just what it would look like. And you laugh harder. Then you want to go home and check what's really in the back of those wall sockets...

Good movie. Not the greatest in the world, but very good.

After newlywed businessman Grant Boyer is electrocuted by his satelite dish, he develops a strange lump on the back of his neck that gives him the power to bring his crazy thoughts and fantasies into reality. Of course, since this is a Plympton film, you can safely assume that this is merely an excuse to load the movie with lots of blood, sex, talking animals, bulging eyeballs, and more detached limbs than you can count. While extremely imaginative, well-animated, and generally fun to watch, the film runs its course within the first half-hour or so. Plympton is an amazing artist, but his art is best viewed in short-film form.

I've always found Plympton's animations intriguing (and at times a bit disgusting, but I mean that in the nicest possible way). I agree with other reviewers on this page that Plympton's style may not be too well-suited for a full-length movie, as I was quite bored at regular intervals. However, if you're into his style and sense of humour (which means that you don't mind gratuitous violence and sex scenes) you should get a kick out of this one. I found myself laughing out loud a couple of times (for instance, at the sex/balloon animals scene), and any movie that makes you do that deserves a pat on the back :).
