...excitement that the lack of substance is not readily apparent. There’s lots of crying, yelling, strange behavior, and kinky sex (a personal favorite for weirdness is the drugged-out scene between Karen and a girl dressed as Alice in Wonderland)—enough of the latter for the MPAA to slap the movie with an NC-17 rating.
