I know I saw this movie, and for the Wachowskis' benefit, a piece of directorial advice:
Having Mila Kunis clean toilets is probably better suited for the second reel, since I know I saw this movie, and I remember Kunis kneeling my a toilet....AND THAT IS ALL I REMEMBER!
Either the movie was that awful OR the thought of Kunis scrubbing my porcelain....and you know what I meant...distracted me for the rest of the flick.
Don't feel bad. If I hadn't taken extensive (okay, excessive) notes, that's all I would have walked away with as well: the image of Mila "Scrubbing Bubble" Kunis. Maybe it's because she buffs the bowl so often it's almost a leitmotif, like we're watching Peter and the Wolf ("At this performance, the toilet will be represented by the Sousaphone [brass section blasts a series of jaunty tuba farts], while the Glockenspiel will represent the tinkling sound of urine missing the bowl and hitting the linoleum...")
Thanks, Cheryl. To be fair, I did omit a LOT of lengthy, intricate, often repetitive dialogue scenes meant to explain the plot in detail, mostly because they just made it MORE confusing, and I've only got two hands! But hey, that's what Better Living Through Bad Movies is all about. We take the Hits so you can enjoy the Misses.

Where could I begin? Very funny review, as always, but completely incomprehensible plot. Definitely one to miss.

Like Donald being indicted on our behalf? Thanks!
Speaking of movies full of whispering, I wish I could surgically remove the memory of this one from my mind: https://debbimacktoo.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/my-review-of-two-or-three-things-i-know-about-her-1967/
So, I better not watch this one or I'll have to actually create the process used in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" to reverse the damage.
