🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a grotesque situational comedy, relying on a documentary style and exaggerated character archetypes. It explores themes of social desperation through absurdity, never aiming for profundity.
Those who tire of sophisticated plots will find a cascade of ridiculous scenarios and farcical moments, where the protagonist is a victim of his own fantasies and cosmic injustice. What lingers after is the feeling of a lightweight, albeit very unpretentious, parody of 80s campus comedies. — MovieFinder Editorial
