Synopsis: Hank (Dano), stranded on a deserted island and about to kill himself, notices a corpse washed up on the beach. He befriends it, naming it Manny (Radcliffe), only to discover that his new friend can talk and has a myriad of supernatural abilities...which may help him get home. | |
Review: The story mixes extreme vulgar stupid humour and scenes with very indie scenery and acting. The farting scenes are practical for the story but not interesting and fartoo long. The homosexual scenes are optically well done, with good acting, but sound very false in contrast with the rest of the scenes. It might be an indie movie easy to fund because of a few mind-catchers, but the movie is globally not authentic, not completely funny. As if by searching a compromise, both Dan directors did not manage to find any. At the end, the acting was actually very diversified but the roles do not make the movie better. |

Interesting that you didn't like it because it won many prices at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival 2016 and thus I wanted to see it...
