A toxically quirky black comedy starring a morbidly obese albino who dreams of traveling to Switzerland. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/07/2019
This tonally uneven venture plays like one extended distraction after another, depending on an odd assortment of characters that never quite feel fully realized. Go to Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile 09/10/2013
Begins as a totally quirky novelty film with seemingly absurd, overdrawn and outrageous characters ... but ends up as an absolutely captivating, totally quirky novelty film - with heart and many surprises Go to Full Review Louise Keller Urban Cinefile 09/10/2013
The brazen, colourful nature of the characters is the strength of this black comedy from Jonas kerlund - and its topline cast. There's an additional, unexpected factor that does not hit us until the very end. It has a heart Go to Full Review Simon Kinnear Total Film 04/05/2013

Gary E @GomerK 3d Unusual movie about a representative group of unusual people sharing walls and windows. James Caan, Juno Temple, J Knoxville, Peter Stormare, and James Marsden all kick in with a superb Matt Lucas while Billy Crystal calmly provides the ballast that . This is not your average film about an average group of tenants. It doesn't get any more real than this outside of real life.

So many really good actors in a small movie that I never heard of before I found it on a streaming service. See more Skyler B @RT10529292 01/18/2025 This is a film that stays with you.. For good or for worse. I've always been one to think true art is any form of media that makes you feel. This film truly captures what I perceive as art. I think it's one of the best movies that I've ever seen. I'd say I'm shocked to see the bad reviews, people categorizing it as "visually repulsive". But truthfully I'm not. They just don't get it, & you can't expect everyone too. That's life in a small apartment. The story is not meant to be some rosy picture. It completely captures what it's trying to be. I'm glad I found this movie @15 in the budget bin at a local video store. I think about it quite regularly. See more Trisha R @RT63192766 06/24/2024 I'm actually surprised that so many people have given this movie a bad review. It actually makes me question whether or not they actually watched it. The movie draws you in with it's quirkiness and quick whit, but dumps a major load on you in the end. It made me really feel like Franklin Franklin wasn't meant for our world, but for his world. My favorite gag was the running joke with Billy Crystal. 🤣 See more Vernon B @lacidar 06/04/2023 Not worth your time. See more Read all reviews
