The Age of Commercialism
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
