Rises above its low-budget limitations by pandering to the most outrageously paranoid fantasies of unhappy office drones.

Does a lot with little, milking a single location and minimal dialogue for deadpan humor, tension, and macabre payoff.

A Jekyll-and-Hyde teen comedy that sounds like a Pauly Shore reject, but Qualls moves his marionette body around with a true clown's effervescence, and he does rubber-faced parodies of youth cool that are just what youth cool deserves.

Never quite locates a sensibility to call its own.

This is Ebiri's first feature after directing four shorts. He shows talent, but shouldn't give up his day job just yet.

It makes little sense, fails as often as it succeeds, and yet is not hateful and is sometimes quite cheerfully original.

A bad-taste comedy with a heart.
