Surreal
is fine if it is done well. Surreal is also fine if it is
funny, interesting, thought-provoking etc. This is not.
It is a sub-Python attempt at humour. It takes some potentially
amusing ideas, (e.g. the seven and a half'th floor) NB everyone
refers to this because it is the ONLY funny thing in the film,
but actually takes it nowhere.

With Malkovich, Cusack and Diaz, this film should have been
a lot better.
I can only blame a very weak script and poor direction.
Plain boring, I'm afraid.
(Although,
in all fairness, most of my friends - warped souls that they
are - enjoyed it).
