    ★★★

    Nic Cage just cajun around I guess. All of the pieces were done well, but there wasn’t much of a point. The story itself falls flat beyond the premise, which is certainly original. But much like the 2016 Seth Rogan staple, “Sausage Party,” this weirdly funny recurring joke sputters out.

    I go back and forth on removing a star because I saw “truck production assistant” in the credits. I don’t like using PAs for unionized jobs and then further not paying them the true value of their labor. But what do I know.

    So I got it. But the line between infant mental capacity / adult physical capacity was too inconsistent for me to appreciate what was trying to be said here. Perhaps touted as a feminist film for its portrayal of female masturbation, this film allows the male-gaze to hang overhead under the disguise of irony.

    ★★

    This felt like a store-brand smoked ham. It’s indeed the substance you’re looking for, even with a little satisfying kick of pepper, but when you’re eating it, you know you’ve eaten better quality deli meat.

    The first act of the story isn't usually the first act in other versions of this trope, which adds a fun tease. The sound mixing is arguably the best technical aspect; it adds significantly to the grungey and splintery mood of the film. Acting is great…
