This is quite honestly one of the oddest films that I have ever seen... & I just couldn't stop watching it til I knew how it ended... & damn that was a weird town.

As a standalone film, Julian Po is perhaps 3 stars. I rate it down because I was in the mood for one thing (a quirky romance / comedy) and got something which ended up dark and creepy. It was like seeing Deliverance advertised as an action-adventure starring Burt Reynolds and thinking: "Well, I enjoyed Smokey and the Bandit so let's give this a try!" Well, it was not quite that bad, but still.

An awkward and confused anti feelgood movie with plenty of stereotypical dislikeable characters. Neither a comedy nor a drama, and wallowing in an unfocused emotional limbo.

This is a really strange movie, and I didn't care for it. I only saw it because of Slater, and it wasn't worth it. It's not even funny.

I found it interesting like reading a story by Edgar Allen Poe or watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
