    This movie is amazing stop-action animation. It also has wonderful cameos from people like Steven King, and it is mad funny. The love story part makes it a nine instead of a ten, but the DVD makes up for it with extra scenes and features.

    The result is a script so needlessly complicated that it defies comprehension.

    A movie interesting enough in its conception to appeal to adults winds up being best suited to preadolescent sensibilities.

    There's unwieldy mess -- but there's also unruly brilliance to this dark and funny story about the havoc that ensues when a man's uncensored Freudian id is allowed the run of the place.
