This movie tries way too hard to be cute. It's the worst of "art" films because it is so self-conscious. It could have been cut down. It is too long and very hard to sit through. There is nothing compelling going on in the story.
The grunts and giggles got on my nerves -- why not do something daring and make it completely silent? As it is, if characters want something they point and grunt, or if they approve of something, they giggle. Very repetitive and very annoying. The director should stick to commercials or become an art director.
Wanna see a good "arty" retro spoof in black and white? Rent Richard Elfman's "The Forbidden Zone". Or rent the real thing and see a good silent-era film.
