This movie does seem to drag a little toward the end, but any reasonable person should be hanging on to see what ELSE will happen, because things do happen in this movie. It is full of funny characters and weird situations, so it is quite amusing, in a "Twilite Zone" sort of way. Did you like "Erasurehead", "Dead Alive", and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"?
This movie illustrates, in fairy-tail fashion, what sort of AWFUL things can happen if you tamper with the natural order of things.
