I am surprised that nobody really talks about this movie—it's one of Christina Ricci's best roles, and is one of the most underrated comedies of the 2000s. It's pure jet-black humor, shot through with an overkill of '60s aesthetics that make the whole thing feel as though it takes place in an alternate reality. If nothing else though, it's funny, crude, and well-written. There is no way it could be made today in the cultural climate we live in; I am almost surprised they dared to make it in 2002.

She's just too off-putting. You could project IMAX on her forehead.

Christina's forehead aside, this is still a great movie.

Never heard of it. Feels like she disappeared after Penelope.

Oh wow. I vaguely recall this film... the trailer looks hilarious. She did a few edgy/ dark comedies around this time.
