When Lulu Danger (Aubrey Plaza) sees a TV commercial for this magical event, she is stunned when she recognizes a mysterious man from her past (Craig Robinson). Unhappy with her marriage to scheming husband Shane (Emile Hirsch), she sees her chance to run off in search of her mystery man when Shane and his bumbling cohorts steal a cashbox and a 'specialist' named Colin (Jemaine Clement) enters the fray to retrieve the stolen funds. But it's not long before Colin gets tangled up with Lulu's plans and things just get crazier from there. (Spirit Entertainment)

As his excellent The Greasy Strangler showed, Jim Hosking is a master of awkwardness yet totally unpredictable in the way he layers scenes on top of each other. Unfortunately, here, in the middle part, it completely fell apart under his hands, the plot gets stuck and it doesn't know which way to go. All is explained towards the end, but it doesn't save the previous futility. Craig Robinson and his grumbling is a real slap in the face here, but Aubrey Plaza is lovely. She plays it seriously and fully committed, creating a funny contrast with all those freaks who deliberately play like amateurs. There were moments I felt sorry for her :)
