Voice overs are tricky things. I wonder if this is where the current comedic obsession with post-modern self-referentiallity or as they say today, being "meta," comes from. A lot of the humour derives from highlighting the filmic conventions they are using or occasionally breaking. It's a hell of a way to get away with cliché or bad writing. I do find films with narration and "meta" sensibilities can be quite lazy, but thankfully it wasn't used to that effect most of the time in this film.

Christina Ricci plays a real bitch in this, she does it rather well too. The story is kinda funny and nicely convoluted, the dialogue and characters are probably its best feature. I enjoyed watching this one, entertaining enough and didn't make me think too hard, perfect late night viewing.
