FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1 I can handle uncomfortable moments, but it sometimes gets to be too much. The same thing happens during Meet the Parents for me. If only the protagonist would just explain themselves faster instead of digging a bigger hole.
2 Jermaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) steals the show as a egomaniacal artist who is both funny and insanely creepy at the same time. I loved his face touching.
3 The mouseterpieces are a tad creepy but wonderfully crafted. You can tell a lot of work was put into these things.
4 The other dinner guests are pretty humourous. Really enjoyed Chris O’Dowd’s blind fencer. Would have loved to see more from Rick Overton, the Beard Champion
5 I like Zach Galifianakis when he’s more accidentally funny. He was trying to hard to be weird in this one. Looking forward to his upcoming Due Date though.
RECOMMENDATION: Wait for TBS
