Lynch fascinates me and I love discovering new works by him. Twin Peaks, IMHO, is one of the greatest series of all time and it's a shame and tragedy that it only lasted two seasons. Likewise, Eraserhead is a beautiful, creative work of art. I have the utmost respect for Lynch and his work, but I have to admit, I just didn't get this film. Other reviews claim this movie is hilarious and that Lynch proved he can master humor. I'm sorry, but I chuckled once during this film and was bored for the rest. I actually wonder if the positive reviews with such high ratings are simply by die-hard fans who will claim everything Lynch has ever done is genius. Like I said, I'm a tremendous fan, but this film, IMO, was highly mediocre.
If you're a fan of Lynch and want to soak up everything he has ever done, by all means, watch this one. But if you're looking for hilarious comedy, most along, there is nothing to see here.
