Imagine watching a Wes Anderson movie, except that every five minutes, someone screams in your ear, and switches to another movie before you can say "WTF?!?"

Funny, but not hilarious. Sweet, but not sickening. A bit and of a gem and worth your time.

A delightful, artful, and thoroughly entertaining expose on the power of genetics to influence man, humor, and good film making. Unlike most critics, I loved it and found it neither over wrought or improbable, but what the fuck would I know about the topic, I'm just a doctor of genetics.

Watching Jesus Henry Christ sometimes feels like being trapped in a building with a faulty fire alarm.

Toronto Star

If it all seems a tad to quirky and twee, that's the overwhelming flaw in director Lee's obvious and lightweight homage to director Wes Anderson.

That sort of thing felt unnatural in Napoleon Dynamite, eight years ago. Here, it's just embarrassing.

A deplorably maligned effort that grovels unashamedly for attention, Jesus H. Christ, what were they all thinking?
