Adopting Trouble

There's a lot I like about this film; some scenes are very funny, it's inventive and silly with lots of interesting characters. Problem is it feels sort of a mess of different styles and ideas. The character's behaviours and motivations don't quite hang together properly and there's very odd pacing and the plot doesn't feel like anything is really at stake. It just stumbles from each slightly disjointed scene to the next. None of the characters seem properly fleshed out or consistent.

It's definitely worth watching but it undeniably has its problems. I look forward to seeing what the director/production company do next as I think they could do some really fantastic work once they get these teething issues figured out.

I'm also puzzled why so many of the characters are wearing eye make-up.
