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

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.

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.
