This is a delightful mixed bag of hilarity, running the gamut from a teenaged boy babysitting a distressingly precocious middle schooler to a marvellously surreal piece about a man whose unique form of self-expression is driving his wife insane. Add a mock preview about an action movie starring the Kool-Aid guy and a bizarre tribute to Terry Gilliam’s “12 Monkeys” and you have an collection of side-splitting and often cuttingly satirical comedy.
