    This time out Lee looks to bake a touch of twee-ness into the film in the hopes of keeping things light, though more often than not, the film's flourishes come off as Wes Anderson-lite.

    Making their screen debuts, young Spevack and Weinstein give the film's most natural performances and provide its little bit of warmth, but it seems time to petition Collette, a truly gifted actress, to take a long hiatus from playing bitter single moms.

    Even for a surreal black comedy, Jesus Henry Christ requires massive suspension of disbelief.

    Try not to be in the same room as Jesus Henry Christ. At the very least run when the first fire alarm sounds.
