While the story is getting consistence, you slowly get the idea. It's a different film about comic boring situations, and it has an unusual relationship between the three main characters which has an interesting style, specially Eva and her 'I put a spell on you' ... It's certainly not a cliche...

This film is basically an observation of how mundane life can be if you go about things without much motivation, obsorbed in your own sense of self-importance. The main characters kind of float around and don't accomplish much. Eddie, the "best friend," sums up the movie best; "You know, it's funny... you come to someplace new, an'... and everything looks just the same." At the end, I felt happier for the life I have myself but I don't feel there's a need to ever watch this again.

Starts off slow but after about 10 minutes the humour starts to really shine or rather you start to understand the humour and "get" the movie. After that point it does drag in places but there's more than enough hilarity to make up for any misgivings one may have for that. Highly enjoyable film.

John Lurie looks annoyed for 90 minutes while Jim Jarmusch films the boring parts of his life. This is also the third Jarmusch film I've seen with a hip hop artist on screen at some point.
